> The "pre-write" barrier for Generational Shenandoah was missing a bit of code to store away the original `count` of elements in the array being copied. As the array copy code decrements through the `count` it is reduced to zero. This caused the "post-write" barrier to believe we just copied an empty array and that it would be safe to skip card marking. This change preserves the original `count` in the prologue and restores it in the epilogue.
