RFR (XS): 8141134: Remove unnecessary pragma warning(disable:4355) from GC code

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Erik,

while I agree that this is a nice clean up I want to second Thomas in
his attempt to save the VS 2010 build. I understand that the official
Oracle build tool chain for jdk9 on Windows is VS 2013, but this may
be different for others. I also think that we shouldn't sacrifice the
possibility to use  VS 2010 without any hard requirements like for
example the need to use new language features which are not supported
in the old version.

If you and others still insist in doing this change, I'd strongly vote
to first completely disable the support for VS 2010 in the 'configure'
process before we start to do source code changes.

Instead, I'd prefer if you could just change the code from:

#ifdef _MSC_VER

to:

#if _MSC_VER < 1800

like it was already done for
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8137329. This makes the
dependency on a specific compiler version explicit (although it would
hardly count as a "clean up" any more :)

Regards,
Volker
