RFR (round 2), JEP-318: Epsilon GC

[Leonid Mesnik]

Aleksey,

I haven't review all changes. Just have a couple of small comments about tests. 
1) It makes a sense to add @requires tag to all epsilon tests like it is done for other GC-specific tests. So jtreg filter them out if epsilon GC is not supported or any other GC is set in command-line explicitly.
Also  you don't need to have any additional conditional checks and  in tests themselves since you know that epsilon GC is supported inside the test.

See example for G1-specific test:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/g1/TestConcurrentSystemGC.java <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/hotspot/jtreg/gc/g1/TestConcurrentSystemGC.java>

The 'requires' support is here:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/jtreg-ext/requires/VMProps.java <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/jtreg-ext/requires/VMProps.java>
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/lib/sun/hotspot/gc/GC.java <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/54eda3aad6dd/test/lib/sun/hotspot/gc/GC.java>

2) Also I don't see why these tests are not in tier1. 

Group tier1_gc_2 includes all tests in gc/ until they are excluded explicitly. So you need to exclude gc/epsilon tests from it.
