RFR: 8268127: Shenandoah: Heap size may be too small for region to align to large page size

TestLargePages.java failed on Linux AArch64, where large page size is 500M, and the test is configured to run with much smaller heap, e.g. 131M.

This is *not* AArch64 specific, just none of our regular test machines has large page setup.

I purpose two invariants:
1) Heap size always aligns up to page size that is requested.
2) Region size always aligns up to page size that is requested if heap is large enough to accommodate them. Otherwise, it aligns up to regular page size.

This partially reverts JDK-8266802.

Obviously, this is a corner case and is unlikely seen in real word. The alternative is to disable UseLargePages if heap size is too small, e.g. align_up(heap_size, page_size) < MIN_NUM_REGIONS.
