RFR(XS): JDK-8214272: Don't use memset to initialize arrays of MemoryUsage in memoryManager.cpp

[Dmitry Chuyko]

Placement new sets values placed in arrays. The arrays as a whole are 
managed as before. I.e.:

GCStatInfo::~GCStatInfo() {
   FREE_C_HEAP_ARRAY(MemoryUsage*, _before_gc_usage_array);
   FREE_C_HEAP_ARRAY(MemoryUsage*, _after_gc_usage_array);
}
