RFR(S): 8151808: Factor G1 heap sizing code out of the G1CollectorPolicy

[Tom Benson]

Hi Mikael,
I noticed that g1HeapSizingPolicy.hpp defines 
NumPrevPausesForHeuristics, which is also defined in your new 
g1Measurements.hpp header.  I think it should only be in the latter.  
And as long as you're in g1HeapSizingPolicy.hpp, could you stick a blank 
line before line 42, "// Ratio check data..."?  8^)

Aside from that, looks good.
Tom
