RFR: 8258284: clean up issues with nested ThreadsListHandles

While working on JDK-8231627, I discovered there were issues with nested
ThreadsListHandles. I added a new test to verify how ThreadsListHandles and
nested ThreadsListHandles are supposed to work. I found two bugs:

1) A failure to restore the expected _threads_hazard_ptr when a nested
    ThreadsListHandle is destroyed.

2) A failure to decrement _nested_threads_hazard_ptr_cnt when a nested
    ThreadsListHandle is destroyed.

The second failure mode is what tripped up my fix for JDK-8231627 so that
bug fix depends on this bug fix.

Mach5 Tier[1-3] testing has no regressions (macOSX testing is incomplete at the moment).
