RFR (M) JDK-8151178: Move the collection set out of the G1 collector policy

[Mikael Gerdin]

Hi all,

Here's a new version of the webrev based on feedback from Jesper and Tom.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mgerdin/8151178/version2/

The incremental layout is similar to version1, with the addition of 
webrev_4 which contains the review changes.

In this update I also took the liberty to change G1CollectionSet to 
become a value member in G1CollectedHeap instead of a separately C-heap 
allocated object. I see no value in it being allocated separately.
