In an attempt to make WhiteBox more GC agnostic, and in turn make it
easier to plugin new GC without touching a lot of non-GC code, this
patch breaks out the GC selection logic from GCArguments to GCSelector.
There are two reasons why I think this makes sense:
1) The GC selection logic is self-contained and fairly unrelated to the
rest of the flags processing done by GCArguments and its GC-specific
children.
2) Parts of the GC selection logic is needed by WhiteBox to answer
questions about which GC are supported, selected, etc.
A follow up patch (JDK-8199927) will change WhiteBox (WB_CurrentGC,
WB_AllSupportedGC, WB_GCSelectedByErgo), to use the GCSelector.
