RFR: 8042298 - Remove the names gen0 and gen1 from the GC code

[Stefan Johansson]

Hi Jesper,

Thanks for doing this work. Here are some comments:

src/share/vm/gc_implementation/g1/g1CollectorPolicy.cpp:
* TraceGen0Time and TraceGen1Time should be changed to TraceYoungTime 
and TraceOldTime for consistency, and I guess that will need a CCC request.

src/share/vm/gc_implementation/concurrentMarkSweep/concurrentMarkSweepGeneration.hpp
* CollectGen0First -> CollectYoungFirst, same as above. Also used in 
tenuredGeneration.hpp.

src/share/vm/gc_implementation/g1/g1CollectorPolicy.hpp
* Comment starting on line 41 mentions TraceGen0Time and gen1.

As an additional comment, I think that GenCollectedHeap::get_gen(int) 
should be broken up into two functions get_young() and get_old(). I get 
that this was left to a later patch to avoid having code/logic changes 
in this patch but I think the change is so little that it makes sense to 
do it in this patch. I would like to avoid having code like, even if it 
is for a brief period of time:
Generation* young = gch->get_gen(0);

Thanks,
Stefan
