Thismade the code a bit more complicated than necessary; now that remembered set verification always follows liveness verification, the code can assume that and do some minor cleanup. I kept the remembered verification a separate closure (`VerifyRemSetClosure`) because the additional boiler plate code is negligible compared to the other duplication that would have been needed around failure count tracking.

> - CollectedHeap::is_oop() should use `klass_raw` because otherwise it will immediately assert on oops with garbage Klass values (the new code will just return `false` as expected). 
> - some special `oopDesc::print_name_on()` which does not crash on bad oops, similar to existing related debugging helpers.
