RFR (M): 8008920: Tracing events for heap statistics

[Erik Helin]

All,

based on internal feedback, this change has been updated.

The event has been renamed to vm/gc/detailed/object_count_after_gc. 
Furthermore, the part of the change that updated heapInspection.cpp/hpp 
has been extracted to a separate change (also out for review on 
hotspot-gc-dev at openjdk.java.net).

New webrev located at:

Thanks,
Erik
