Hi all,

Please review this small cleanup partially suggested in the review of 
8154154.
The change modifies G1Policy to initialize its members in the 
initialization list instead of in the constructor body and clarifies the 
dependencies that the G1Policy::init method has on G1CollectedHeap by 
forcing a caller to pass a heap and collection set pointer.
The reasoning behind forcing the caller to pass a G1CollectionSet* is 
that I want to move towards only exposing "const G1CollectionSet*" in 
G1CollectedHeap. G1Policy is one of the places where it's clearly 
necessary to have a mutable G1CollectionSet.
