This change sets the MARKING bit of _gc_state whenever either Young marking or Old marking is active.  With this change, barrier code more closely resembles the code in the original single-generation Shenandoah.  The performance impact is negligible.  The primary benefit is to simplify code reviews and clarify that the addition of generational mode to Shenandoah does not negatively impact performance of single-generation Shenandoah.
