RFR: Abandon mixed collections if all candidates are pinned

A new `WAITING_FOR_FILL` state has been added. This state is now entered when all the candidates for a mixed collection cycle are found to be pinned (which should be quite rare). This state permits a new old generation collection cycle to begin (which itself begins with making these regions parseable).

This change also adds a new diagnostic flag `ShenandoahCoalesceChance` which is the probability (expressed as a percentage) of abandoning all the candidates of a mixed collection. Any abandoned candidate regions will be made parseable.
