RFR: 8057632 - Remove auxiliary code used to handle the generations array

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi,

I merged in the latest JDK 9 and fixed an issue mentioned by Kim in a separate 
thread. See below for links to new webrevs.

I should also mention that this work build on top of the generation array 
removal discussed in the thread "RFR: 8055702 - Remove the generations array".

Note that the frames version of genCollectedHeap.cpp is broken since webrev 
can't cope with the number of changes.  ("limited to 50 pat,pat statements at 
source line 105...")

Thanks!
