RFR: 8202641: Replace OOP_SINCE_SAVE_MARKS with templates

[Erik Österlund]

Hi Stefan,

Templates... oh yes.

gc/cms/promotionInfo.inline.hpp is seemingly missing some includes. It 
looks like it needs macros.hpp, oop.inline.hpp and debug.hpp.

Apart from that, this looks good, and I don't need another webrev.

Thanks,
/Erik
