RFR: 8314653: Metaspace: remove allocation guard feature [v2]

[Thomas Stuefe]

> In Metaspace in debug builds, one can guard allocations. This has been a useful feature in during implementation of JEP 387 to find bugs, but has not found much use thereafter, and remains an obscure and underused feature.
> 
> But these guards cause quite a bit of complexity, mainly since they make testing difficult: with guards on, predicting arena growth gets quite complex.
> 
> I propose to remove this feature to reduce Metaspace complexity.
> 
> Tests: local (mac m1, Linux x64) Metaspace tests. GHAs.
