After [JDK-8353184](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8353184), ZAllocator has essentially become a mirror of ZObjectAllocator, with a few tweaks for different behavior for eden or relocation allocations. The goal is to make the code a bit easier to follow and generalise the different paths for eden and relocation allocations to a shared path.

I have opted to keep the getter for the eden allocator (`ZObjectAllocator::eden()`), but it can be swapped to `ZObjectAllocator::allocator(ZPageAge::eden)` if we prefer that instead.

The null-check for eden allocation has been moved to its single caller in zCollectedHeap.cpp. This makes the API in ZObjectAllocator more general and we don't have to track methods for both eden and relocation allocations.
