RFR: 8310031: Parallel: Implement better work distribution for large object arrays in old gen [v9]

[Richard Reingruber]

> This pr introduces parallel scanning of large object arrays in the old generation containing roots for young collections of Parallel GC. This allows for better distribution of the actual work (following the array references) as opposed to "stealing" from other task queues which can lead to inverse scaling demonstrated by small tests (attached to JDK-8310031) and also observed in gerrit production systems.

> - A worker scans the part of a large array located in its stripe

> - For this it is necessary that large arrays cover at least 3 stripes (see `PSCardTable::large_obj_arr_min_words`)

> The implementation also makes use of the precise card marks for arrays. Only dirty regions are actually scanned.

> [BigArrayInOldGenRR.java](https://bugs.openjdk.org/secure/attachment/104422/BigArrayInOldGenRR.java) is a micro benchmark that assigns new objects to a large array in a loop. Creating new array elements triggers young collections. In each collection the large array is scanned because of its references to the new elements in the young generation. The benchmark score is the geometric mean of the duration of the last 5 young collections (lower is better).

> Observations

> * JDK22 scales inversely. Adding gc threads prolongues young collections. With 32 threads young collections take ~15x longer than single threaded.
> 
> * Fixed JDK22 scales well. Adding gc theads reduces the duration of young collections. With 32 threads young collections are 5x shorter than single threaded.
> 
> * With just 1 gc thread there is a regression. Young collections are 1.5x longer with the fix. I assume the reason is that the iteration over the array elements is interrupted at the end of a stripe which makes it less efficient. The prize for parallelization is paid without actually doing it. Also ParallelGC will use at lea...
