Hi all,

Please review this patch to save some of the important ZGC log lines and 
print them when dumping hs_err files.

https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8246135/webrev.01/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246135

The patch adds a concept of "precious" log lines. What's typically 
logged are GC initialization lines, but also error messages are saved. 
These lines are then dumped in the hs_err file if the JVM crashes or 
hits an assert. The lines can also be printed in a debugger to get a 
quick overview when debugging.

The precious lines are always saved, but just like any other Unified 
Logging calls, only logged if the tags are enabled.

The patch builds on the JDK-8246134 patch. The hs_err output looks like 
this:
