JEP 173: Remove Rarely-Used Combinations of Garbage Collectors

[Jon Masamitsu]

-XX:+UseParNewGC  will give you a parallel young gen collector
plus the serial old gen collector.   It does not have all the features
that -XX:+UseParallelGC has (for example, does not have support
for -XX:+UseNUMA).   It actually is one of the combinations that
we would like to remove.
