RFR 8037925: CMM Testing: an allocated humongous object at the end of the heap should not prevents shrinking the heap

[Erik Helin]

Andrey has updated the patch:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8037925/webrev.06/

The new patch does no longer change the testlibrary. There is already an 
issue filed for fixing these tests and the previous testlibrary changes: 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8039489.

Thanks,
Erik
