RFR: 8251158: Implementation of JEP 387: Elastic Metaspace

[Thomas Stuefe]

Hi all,

this is the continuation of the ongoing review for the JEP387 implementation (last rounds see [1] [2]). Sorry for the
delay, had vacation then the entrance of Skara delayed things a bit.

For the delta diff please see [3].

This is the first time I do a large PR after Skara, so if something is wrong please bear with me. I cannot answer all
feedback individually in this PR body, but I incorporated almost all into the new revision.

What changed since the last version:

- I renamed most metaspace files back to the original naming scheme or to something similar, hopefully capturing the
  group consent.

- I changed the way allocation guards are checked if MetaspaceGuardAllocations is enabled. Before, I would test for
  overwrites upon CLD destruction, but since that check was subject to VerifyMetaspaceInterval it only ran for every nth
  class loader which made it rather pointless. Now I run it always.

- I also improved the printout on block corruption, and log block corruption unconditionally before asserting.

- I also fixed up and commented the death test which tests for allocation overwriters (test_allocationGuard.cpp)

Side note, I find the corruption check very useful but if you guys think it is too much I still can remove the feature.

- In ChunkManager::purge() I improved the comments after discussions with Leo.

- I fixed a bug with VerifyMetaspaceInterval: if set to 1 the "SOMETIMES" sections were supposed to fire always, but due
  to a one-off error they only fired every second time. Now, if -XX:VerifyMetaspaceInterval=1, the checks really run
  every time.

- Fixed indentation issues as Leo requested

- Rewrote the condition and the assert in VirtualSpaceList::allocate_root_chunk() as Leo requested

- I removed the "can_purge" logic from VirtualSpaceList. The list does not need to know. It just should iterate all nodes
  and attempt purging, and if a node does not own its ReservedSpace, it refuses to be purged. That is simpler and more
  flexible since it allows us to have list with purge-able and non-purge-able nodes.

- and various smaller fixes, mainly on request of Leo.

You are right, _base and _word_size are directly related to the underlying space. But I'd prefer to leave it the way it
is. Mainly because ReservedSpace::_base and ::_size are nonconst and theoretically can change under me. It is highly
improbable but I'd like to know. Note that VirtualSpaceNode::verify checks that.

Should we clean up ReservedSpace at some point and make those members const - as they should be - then I would rewrite
this as you suggest.

Thanks, again, for all your review work!
