RFR: 8378854: Disable SA tests when ZGC is being used

We currently problem list all the SA tests when ZGC is being used. However, recently the CR they are problem listed under ([JDK-8307393](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8307393)) was closed as WNF. Tests are not suppose to be problem listed under closed CRs. The proposed solution is to use the following in all the SA tests:

` * @requires vm.gc != "Z"`

Note I kept `serviceability/sa/TestUniverse.java` enabled for ZGC as it was explicitly called out in the problem list comment as a sanity check to keep enabled.

While adding the `@requires` I also did some minor cleanup in a few places to keep the `@requires` less cluttered and consistent between tests. Specifically I made it so `@requires vm.hasSA` is always on its own line and always first.

Testing in progress. Will cover all tier1 plus tier2, tier3, and tier5 svc testing.
