RFR: JDK-8077842 - Remove the level parameter passed around in GenCollectedHeap

Hi Kim!

I removed the unrelated formatting changes as suggested to minimize the 
conflicts with Bill's change. There will still be a conflict though since there 
were some actual changes as well.

I also added the is_young_gen()/is_old_gen() in GenCollectedHeap as suggested. 
There is as you mentioned no way to determine which generation it is inside the 
generation. I haven't found any good way to implement that, and I'm also not 
sure I want to since I think that the generation shouldn't need to know this... 
I may be wrong though.

New version:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jwilhelm/8077842/webrev.05/

Increment:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jwilhelm/8077842/webrev.05.incremental/

Thanks,
/Jesper
