`CollectedHeap::is_gc_active()` is confusing, since its name implies _any_ GC phase is running, while it actually only covers the STW GCs. It would be good to rename it for clarity. The freed-up name, `is_gc_active` could then be repurposed to track any (concurrent or STW) GC phase running. That would be useful to resolve [JDK-8331572](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8331572).
Doing this rename separately guarantees we have caught and renamed all current uses.
Additional testing:
- [ ] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `all`
