> The `worker_id` argument passed to `WorkerTask::work(uint worker_id)` is sometimes needed in contexts where it today can't be easily accessed, mainly because it's not feasible to pass this argument through many layers of semi-unrelated code. To solve this, I propose that we make the current `worker_id` accessible though a static function `WorkerThread::worker_id()`.
>
> By doing this, we also pave the way for ZGC to remove its `ZTask` and `ZThread`, which are helper class to make the `worker_id` easily accessible in any context.
>
> At the same time I propose that we remove `WorkerThread::_id`. This id identifies the actual worker thread. There is currently only one user of `WorkerThread::_id`, the `ReferenceProcessor`. However, we should use `WorkerThread::worker_id()` here instead. The only reason it doesn't use `worker_id` today is that it's not easily accessible in that context (the discover path).

> Testing: Passed Tier1-3
