RFR: 8344363: FullGCForwarding::initialize_flags is called after ObjLayout::initialize [v2]

> From the bug description:
> ObjLayout::initialize() is called in Arguments::parse(const JavaVMInitArgs*) which sets ObjLayout::_klass_mode. FullGCForwarding::initialize_flags(size_t) is called in init_globals() which seems to be later in the Threads::create_vm(JavaVMInitArgs*, bool*) routine. The latter, however, can unset the UseCompactObjectHeaders flag, which leads to a potential mismatch with ObjLayout::_klass_mode, firing the asserts in ObjLayout::klass_mode().
> 
> There is also a related (and somewhat minor) problem: In Arguments::parse() we enable a bunch of stuff when UseCompactObjectHeaders is on (LW locking, but that's the default anyway, and object-monitor-tables, which are otherwise off), but then may disable UseCompactObjectHeaders, e.g. in the GC or when -UseCompressedClassPointers is requested. This then leaves the odd situation that we run without compact headers, but have object monitor tables turned on.
> 
> The fix to both issues is:
> - First disable UCOH
> - and do that in apply_ergo() (e.g. GCs should do it in GCArguments::initialize())
> - then enable any flags required by compact headers
> - Initialize ObjLayout after all flags are done (it's in the correct place, already)
> 
> Testing:
>  - [x] tier1 -UCOH (default)
>  - [ ] tier1 +UCOH
>  - [x] Manual testing several flag combinations
