>> This implements CDS Java heap loading for Shenandoah. There are peculiarities with how CDS loads objects: it basically asks for a contiguous block of memory, fills it out, potentially relocating the objects. This gets interesting when a single Shenandoah region cannot contain the entirety of the load. See the implementation for gory details.

It would be better if we trim down the min alignment, thus unblocking smaller heaps. It is not necessary to do so in this PR,  so I track that work separately: [JDK-8337828](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8337828).

>>  - [x] Same as above, but `MIN_GC_REGION_ALIGNMENT` manually dropped to 256K (mimics [JDK-8337828](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8337828))
