1) Switch to Minimal Wavefront Concurrent Marking.
2) Partial phases:
Init partial
Stop concurrent marking threads.
Treat conc marking threads as roots.
All the current init partial stuff (scanning roots, evac_in_progress
flags...).
Evac partial
Final partial
Copy from-region bitmap results to to-region bitmaps.
Clear from-region bitmaps
Update marking queues to point to to-region copies.
Restart concurrent marking threads
I'm a little worried that updating the marking queues may take too much
time, if so we can move it to a concurrent phase as long as we don't
restart concurrent marking until it is completed.
