Choosing the collection set for Shenandoah's generational mode is somewhat more complicated than the non-generational modes. The logic is spread out in unnatural places which compounds the complexity. This change was spun off from https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/27632. There is more to come, but I'm breaking the changes up over several PRs to facilitate reviewing.
Description of changes:
The methods:
* `ShGeneration::compute_evacuation_budgets`
* `ShGeneration::select_aged_regions`
* `ShGeneration::adjust_evacuation-budgets`
Were all moved into `ShGenerationalHeuristics`. The signature of `ShHeuritics::choose_collection_set` is restored to return `void` instead of returning a `size_t` which represents the number of old regions to be added to top off the collection set. The one heuristic that returned a non-zero value for this (`ShYoungHeuristics`) now carries it in a member variable.
Redundant keyword modifiers have been removed from the headers touched here.
