RFR: JDK-8148736: Let the G1 heap transition log regions instead of bytes

[Bengt Rutisson]

Hi again,

I realized that the two macros EXT_SIZE_FORMAT and EXT_SIZE_PARAMS are 
unused. Their usage was removed earlier, but since I am changing the 
code very close by, I thought I can remove them in this change as well.

Here's an updated webrev where these macros are removed as well:

Thanks,
Bengt
