Since the conflicts were only an assertion conflicts ([sample](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blame/b1e8c4e030f42ea3146b2502c9ab030bc79a8147/src/hotspot/share/gc/shenandoah/shenandoahFreeSet.cpp#L3065)), I'm skipping the complicated backport rabbit hole and picking the latest assertions. The other two backports (8358529, 8373789) are clean.

I'm approving this, but I feel this is a lot of files for a backport. I wonder if, in the future, we should boil down the backport to its essence and avoid incidental changes to logging and such.
