Request for review: 7098155: Resize young gen at full collections for UseParallelGC

[Tao Mao]

Hi,

changeset:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7098155

In order to avoid the situation for UseParallelGC described in the CR, 
we need to resize young gen at full collections.

And, according to the heap configuration in young gen, we need to swap 
from- and to-space () after full gc in order to get the young gen 
correctly resized after several GC's.

test:
- Pass JPRT tests

- RefWorkload
