RFR: 8349094: GenShen: Race between control and regulator threads may violate assertions [v4]

[William Kemper]

> There are several changes to the operation of Shenandoah's control threads here.
> * The reason for cancellation is now recorded in `ShenandoahHeap::_cancelled_gc` as a `GCCause`, instead of various member variables in the control thread.
>   *  The cancellation handling is driven entirely by the cancellation cause
>   * The graceful shutdown, alloc failure, humongous alloc failure and preemption requested flags are all removed
>   * The shutdown sequence is simpler
> * The generational control thread uses a lock to coordinate updates to the requested cause and generation
>   * APIs have been simplified to avoid converting between the generation `type` and the actual generation instance
>   * The old heuristic, rather than the control thread itself, is now responsible for resuming old generation cycles
>   *  The control thread doesn't loop on its own (unless the pacer is enabled).

William Kemper has updated the pull request incrementally with two additional commits since the last revision:

 - Simplify locking protocol
 - Make shutdown more robust, make better use of request lock
