RFR: 8191564: Refactor GC related servicability code into GC specific subclasses

Erik implemented a few more refactorings and touch-ups, and here is our 
final (pending reviews) webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rkennke/8191564/webrev.04/

Compared to webrev.02, it improves the handling of gc-end-message, 
avoids dragging the GCMemoryManager through Generation and a few little 
related refactorings.

Ok to push now?

> After a few more discussions with Erik I made some more changes.

> MemoryService is now unaware of the number and meaning of GC memory 
> managers (minor vs major). This should be better for GCs that don't make 
> that distinction and/or use more different GCs (e.g. minor, 
> intermediate, full).
> 
> This means that I needed to add some abstractions:
> - GCMemoryManager now has gc_end_message() which is used by 
> GCNotifier::pushNotification().
> - gc_begin() and gc_end() methods in MemoryService now accept a 
> GCMemoryManager* instead of bull full_gc
> - Same for TraceMemoryManagerStats
> - Generation now knows about the corresponding GCMemoryManager
