RFR: 8278475: G1 dirty card refinement by Java threads may get unnecessarily paused [v3]

[Kim Barrett]

> Please review this change to avoid attempts to refine dirty cards by Java
> threads when there is an active STS yield request, as the attempt will just
> end up being paused.  When going into a safepoint this avoids wasted work and
> transfer of buffers into the paused list.  More importantly, when coming out
> of a pause this avoids deferring buffers to after the next safepoint, due to
> the yield request being cleared after Java threads are restarted.
> 
> Testing:
> mach5 tier1
> 
> Lots of testing as part of investigation of JDK-8273383.
