The debug agent has a large number of monitors, and it's really hard to know which order to grab them in, and for that matter which monitors might already be held at any given moment. By imposing a rank on each monitor, we can check to make sure they are always grabbed in the order of their rank. Having this in place when I was working on [JDK-8324868](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8324868) would have made it much easier to detect a deadlock that was occuring, and the reason for it. That's what motivated me to do this work

Chris, I'm looking at this fix.
