> This PR eliminates redundant bookkeeping that had been carried out by both ShenandoahGeneration and ShenandoahFreeSet.  In the new code, we keep a single tally of relevant information within ShenandoahFreeSet.
> Queries serviced by ShenandoahGeneration are now delegated to ShenandoahFreeSet.
> 
> This change eliminates rare and troublesome assertion failures that were often raised when the ShenandoahFreeSet tallies did not match the ShenandoahGeneration tallies.  These assertion failures resulted because the two sets of books are updated at different times, using different synchronization mechanisms.
> 
> The other benefit of this change is that we have less synchronization overhead because we only have to maintain a single set of books.
