RFR: JDK-8055845 - Add trace event for promoted objects

[Staffan Friberg]

HI Dima,

The event is specified in trace.xml as all other events, please see the 
updated webrev as some changes was made to the descriptions.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~brutisso/8055845/webrev.01

I'm in the process of writing regression tests, but they will be a 
separate webrev as they will be located in a separate repository.

Regards,
Staffan
