RFR: 8217327: G1 Post-Cleanup region liveness printing should not print out-of-date efficiency

**Description**
This fix addresses the issue where gc-efficiency is printed incorrectly when logging post-marking and post-cleanup. The gc-efficiency is calculated in the end of the marking phase, to be logged in the post-cleanup section. It is however not reset, meaning that next phase's post-marking log will show the old value.

- The gc-efficiency is initialized to -1 when it hasn't been calculated.
- Negative gc-efficiency is displayed as a hyphen "-" in the summary.
- The gc-efficiency is reset to -1 in `HeapRegion::note_start_of_marking()`

**Note:** there is a sister issue that moves the post-cleanup printing to a later stage. Without this fix, the logging will still be incorrect, so both fixes are needed. See: [JDK-8260042: G1 Post-cleanup liveness printing occurs too early](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/2168)

This fix has been tested together with the above mentioned fix.

**Example**
This is what logging like after fix has been applied.
