[master] RFR: 8304710: [Lilliput] Use forwarding table for sliding GCs [v4]

[Roman Kennke]

> This changes the full-GC forwarding of Serial, Parallel, G1 and Shenandoah to use a forwarding table instead of the fancy SlidingForwarding that we had until now. SlidingForwarding has been problematic because it did not work universally, in particular we needed to disable the G1 serial full GC (the last last ditch GC, after parallel full GC failed). Also, sliding forwarding would not work when we start working towards 32bit headers.

Here there would be the alternative to treat the heap as a single region, and count marked objects without distinguishing old vs young. The problem is that old is allocated in higher memory than young, and the full-GC compacts old-gen first, and then young-gen, which breaks the assumption in ForwardingTable, which leads to very slow forwarding insertions. I also tried to simply swap the old and young reserved memory, and that is possible, but triggers all sorts of related changes where the memory order is implicitely used for stuff like is_in_young() etc.
