See discussion in the bug. This PR introduces a safety rail that kicks in when the threshold heuristics fails, and it is cleanly backportable to JDK 17, where the problem manifests as apparent memory leak. There are other options to resolve this (see the bug), but I think this one is the easiest in the interim. 

Additional testing:
 - [ ] Linux x86_64 `tier1`
 - [ ] Linux x86_64 `tier2`
 - [x] `runtime/Monitor` tests
 - [x] Ad-hoc experiments (see example in the bug)
 - [x] New feature test
