RFR: 8307348 - Parallelize heap walk for ObjectCount(AfterGC) JFR event collection [v3]

> ObjectCount(AfterGC) event does a full single-threaded heap scan at a safepoint. After https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8215624, it is trivial to use the parallel version of the heap scan, reducing the time spent at the safepoint, and thus reducing the overhead of this event.
> 
> The performance improvement is obvious, but just for confirmation, on my 16-core host, at around 1GB occupancy:
> 
> 
> Before: 770ms ( [3.059s][debug][gc,phases         ] GC(13) Report Object Count 770.317ms )
>  After:  92ms ( [2.335s][debug][gc,phases         ] GC(13) Report Object Count  91.742ms )
> 
> 
> Question 1: Should this be the default behaviour for populate_table (use the number active workers as the parallelism, if nothing else specified)?
> 
> Question 2: Is active_workers the correct value to use here? Or is max_workers more appropriate?
