Please review this change to add a new GC cause for GC Full collections that are caused by a prior collection not being able to free up enough space.
**Summary**
During the review of PR #3143 it got pretty clear that reusing the Young GC cause for a following Full GC is not always good. A solution for this is to add a new GC cause that is used if a young collection can't free up enough space. This cause will not be used for other explicit Full GCs, like a call to `System.gc()`.
The would result in a change from:
[13,276s][info][gc ] GC(71) Pause Young (Normal) (G1 Evacuation Pause) 3096M->3096M(3100M) 1,159ms
[13,644s][info][gc ] GC(72) Pause Full (G1 Evacuation Pause) 3096M->3096M(3100M) 368,157ms
to:
[18,454s][info][gc ] GC(84) Pause Young (Normal) (G1 Evacuation Pause) 3096M->3096M(3100M) 1,312ms
[18,815s][info][gc ] GC(85) Pause Full (G1 Compaction Pause) 3096M->3096M(3100M) 360,737ms
This PR is currently based in PR #4342, where we slightly change how Full GCs are scheduled if a Younc GC can't free up enough space.
**Testing**
I've tested this change together with PR #4342 and tier1-3 looks good. Also done manual testing making sure the GC-cause is used correctly.
