This change also removes some unused variables/methods and has the heuristic lean on the collector policy for tracking consecutive degenerated cycles (rather than having both the heuristic and the collector policy tracking this).

The copyright update anticipates the changes to this file on the generational mode branch. I will revert it here. I will also add comments to the methods of the collector policy.
