This PR addresses a few issues with region promotion:
* Fix typo in code which loops over continuation regions of humongous objects
* Don't rely on mark bits above TAMS when iterating oops
* Due to an as-yet-undiagnosed bug, we need to mark the cards for an entire region dirty when it's promoted

-------------

Commit messages:
 - Use card marking abstraction in heap
 - Revert unnecessary change
 - Use cast_from_oop rather than C-style cast.
 - Dirty entire regions during promotion.
 - Operate on region in loop, rather than 'this' region
 - Don't rely on mark bit map above TAMS when iterating oops in region.
