In preparation for concurrent thread stack scanning, this patch reworks 
how we visit threads during roots scanning, so that the part visiting 
Java threads can be easily moved to a concurrent phase at a later stage.

The new ZJavaThreadIterator is also a performance optimization over 
Threads::possibly_parallel_threads_do(), since it will do fewer atomic 
operations (by a factor of ParallelGCThreads).
