RFR: 8254877: GCLogPrecious::_lock rank constrains what locks you are allowed to have when crashing [v4]

> This is an alternative version of the fix proposed in 900:

> Erik's description:
>> Today, when you crash, the GCLogPrecious::_lock is taken. This effectively limits you to only get clean crash reports if you crash or assert without holding a lock of rank tty or lower. It is arguably difficult to know what locks you are going to have when crashing. Therefore, I don't think the precious GC log should constrain possible crashing contexts in that fashion.
> 
> As Erik mentioned in that PR, I'd like to retain the ability to easily dump the precious log when debugging. The proposed fix changes the Mutex to a Semaphore, and use trywait to safely access the buffer. In the unlikely event that another thread is holding the lock, the hs_err printer skips printing the log.
> 
> This also makes it possible to call precious logging from within the stack watermark processing code. I think there's a possibility that we might call the following error logging, when we fail to commit memory for a ZPage, when relocating, during stack watermark processing:
> `log_error_p(gc)("Failed to commit memory (%s)", err.to_string());`
