RFR: 8377180: Shenandoah: make escalation from degen to full more conservative [v3]

[Kelvin Nilsen]

> This PR merges into Traditional Shenandoah an optimization that was applied to Generational Shenandoah in September 2025 and has proven itself effective in that context.  See https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/27456

> The change is to not immediately escalate Degenerated GC to Full GC following "bad progress" by Degen GC.  The most common reason for bad degenerated progress is that most of the potential garbage was created following the start of the concurrent GC cycle which degenerated.  This "floating" garbage cannot be reclaimed by the degenerated cycle because of the SATB protocol.

> Pursuing at least one additional concurrent cycle, even if that subsequent concurrent GC degenerates, is usually a much better approach than forcing immediate escalation to Full GC.  While escalation to full GC will resolve the out-of-memory condition, it imposes unnecessarily long stop-the-world pauses:
