> **Implements:** https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8357445
> 
> Implement time-based heap uncommit for G1 during idle periods.
> 
> Key changes:
> - Added G1HeapEvaluationTask for periodic heap evaluation
> - Switch from G1ServiceTask to PeriodicTask for improved scheduling
> - Implemented time-based heap sizing policy with configurable uncommit delay
> - Added region activity tracking with last access timestamps
> - Integrated VM_G1ShrinkHeap operation for safe heap shrinking
> - Added new G1 flags: G1UseTimeBasedHeapSizing, G1TimeBasedEvaluationIntervalMillis, G1UncommitDelayMillis, G1MinRegionsToUncommit
> - Added 'sizing' log tag for heap sizing operations
> 
> Comprehensive Test Coverage:
> - Enhanced TestG1RegionUncommit: minimum heap boundaries, concurrent allocation/uncommit scenarios
> - Enhanced TestTimeBasedHeapSizing: humongous object handling, rapid allocation cycles, edge cases
> - Enhanced TestTimeBasedRegionTracking: concurrent region access, lifecycle transition validation
> - Enhanced TestTimeBasedHeapConfig: parameter boundary values, small heap configurations
> 
> This ensures time-based heap uncommit works correctly while maintaining all safety guarantees and test expectations.

  8357445: Remove redundant record_activity calls and leftover initialize call
  
  - Remove record_activity() from retirement methods as hr_clear() is always last
  - Remove leftover initialize() call since initialization moved to constructor
  - Remove unused G1 includes from vmOperations after moving VM_G1ShrinkHeap
