RFR 8225582: Shenandoah: Enable concurrent evacuation of JNIHandles and CLDG roots

[Zhengyu Gu]

Hi Roman,

This patch does not deal with class unloading, it is still done at final 
mark pause. What it does, is to move evacuate/update refs in CLDs from 
SH::evacuate_and_update_roots() to concurrent phase, and at this point, 
they are strongly reachable.

I will put this through more tests.

Thanks,

-Zhengyu
