Back when ThreadLocalHandshake has been introduced, we needed to disable
it in Shenandoah, because it caused a problem in the serial benchmark,
together with traversal mode, which would cause the application to hang.
This has never been explained. However, the problem no longer seems to
exist, and we shall enable TLHS by default. This also seems to improve
latency.

Testing:
The patch has been baked in shenandoah/jdk for a while and undergone our
rigourous CI testing. I've also run hotspot_gc_shenandoah locally again.
ok?
