RFR: 8346005: Parallel: Incorrect page size calculation with UseLargePages [v8]

> Refactor the heap-space and OS memory interface code to clearly separate two related but distinct concepts: `alignment` and `os-page-size`. These are now represented as two fields in `PSVirtualSpace`.
> 
> The parallel heap consists of four spaces: old, eden, from, and to. The first belongs to the old generation, while the latter three belong to the young generation.
> 
> The size of any space is always aligned to `alignment`, which also determines the unit for resizing. To keep the implementation simple while allowing flexible per-space commit and uncommit operations, each space must contain at least one OS page. As a result, `alignment` is always greater than or equal to `os-page-size`.
> 
> When using explicit large pages -- which require pre-allocating large pages before the VM starts -- the actual OS page size is not known until the heap has been reserved. The additional logic in `ParallelScavengeHeap::initialize` detects the OS page size in use and adjusts `alignment` if necessary.
> 
> Test: tier1–8
