RFR: 8357445: G1: Time-Based Heap Uncommit During Idle Periods [v5]

[Monica Beckwith]

> **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.

  JDK-8357445: Implement @tschatzl code review feedback for time-based heap sizing
  
  - Convert from jlong milliseconds to proper time types (Ticks/Tickspan)
  - Reclassify G1UseTimeBasedHeapSizing from EXPERIMENTAL+false to DIAGNOSTIC+true
  - Reclassify G1MinRegionsToUncommit from EXPERIMENTAL to DIAGNOSTIC
  - Keep timing flags (G1UncommitDelayMillis, G1HeapEvaluationIntervalMillis) as MANAGEABLE
  - Update all test files to use UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions instead of UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
  - Remove explicit G1UseTimeBasedHeapSizing=true from tests (now enabled by default)
  - Improve logging terminology from 'time-based' to 'uncommit evaluation'
  - Fix comment style and remove unused heap_sizing_policy() accessor
  - Comprehensive type safety improvements throughout the codebase
  
  This addresses all feedback regarding type safety, flag design,
  and production readiness of the time-based heap sizing feature.
