RFR (S): 8238999: Remove MemRegion custom new/delete operator overloads

[Ioi Lam]

Hi Thomas,

Maybe we can fold this into a MemRegion::create(int size) function?

1750   MemRegion* regions = NEW_C_HEAP_ARRAY(MemRegion, max, mtInternal);
1751   for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
1752     ::new (&regions[i]) MemRegion();
1753   }

Thanks
- Ioi
