With [JDK-8359110](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8359110) a framework to measure GC CPU time was introduced.
It will be exposed in JMX as `MemoryMXBean.getTotalGcCpuTime()`. There is also interest to get the same performance data from JVMTI.
The following API's are being added with this enhancement:

Introduce:
 - new capability: `can_get_gc_cpu_time`
 - new JVMTI functions:
    - `jvmtiError GetGCCpuTimerInfo(jvmtiEnv* env, jvmtiTimerInfo* info_ptr)`
    - `jvmtiError GetTotalGCCpuTime(jvmtiEnv* env, jlong* nanos_ptr)`

The related CSR will be created shortly.

Testing:
 - TBD: Mach5 tiers 1-6
