RFR (S): 8004172: Update jstat counter names to reflect metaspace changes

[Jon Masamitsu]

Erik,

Sorry to make extra work for you but I've been convinced
that SUN_GC is the right name to use.  Even though the
metadata may seem (in my head) more like a runtime quantity,
it (class metadata) has been associated with GC historically
so should continue to be associated with GC.  So the
SUN_GC is appropriate.  Again, my apologies for flip-flopping
on this.
