I can't find any place where should_clear_all_soft_refs() would become
true for G1. And, as you mention, G1 doesn't even look at
all_soft_refs_clear() either. I removed those parts from G1, and moved
all soft_refs stuff down to GenCollectorPolicy.

I also changed the way the casting accessors as_generation_policy() etc
work: the as_* accessors now crash with ShouldNotReachHere() when called
for the wrong policy type, and the is_* accessors now return constant
true/false based on their type (so that it doesn't crash with
ShouldNotReachHere() ..). I think this is more useful than the way it's
been done before.

Tested by: hotspot_gc jtreg tests.

What do you think?
