RFR: 8275055: Improve HeapRegionRemSet::split_card() [v3]

[Thomas Schatzl]

> Hi all,
> 
>   can I have reviews for this small change that improves HeapRegionRemSet::split_card() by reducing the number of (direct and indirect) memory accesses for it. It is hard to actually measure improvements because it's only called in concurrent code. So no particular improvements measured.
> 
> It also prepares that method for virtualizing the remembered set containers, allowing arbitrarily large heap region sizes [JDK-8275056](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8275056). This change is required then because the splitting of a card index into "region" and "card within region" should not be dependent on *heap regions*.
> 
> Testing: gha, gc/g1 local testing.

> Thanks,
>   Thomas
