RFR: DRAFT: Expand old on demand [v41]

[Kelvin Nilsen]

> This PR describes several proposed changes to dynamically adjust the sizes of old-gen and young-gen.  In general, the objective is to keep old-gen as small as possible so that there is an abundance of memory available for the young-gen allocation runway.
> 
> As currently drafted, there are regression failures.  This DRAFT PR is published for the purpose of facilitating a careful code review.

Kelvin Nilsen has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  Weaken some assertions
  
  As written, these assertions fail if generation->is_global().  It may
  work to rewrite these assertions using accessor methods used(),
  humongous_waste(), and affiliated_region_count() instead of the instance
  field values.
