RFR (S): 8066566: Refactor ParNewGeneration to contain ParNewTracer

Hi,

I would like reviews for the following small patch.

Like the bug description says, the ParNewTracer is stack-allocated 
during ParNewGeneration::collect(), forcing us to send the tracer as an 
argument to functions that might need it. This patch moves the tracer, 
and makes it a field in ParNewGeneration instead.

The change includes adding a getter for this field, even though it is 
not used, however, future changes adding PLAB tracing [1] will require this.
