Have the GC worker threads clear the hot card cache in parallel by having each worker thread claim a chunk of the card cache and process the cards in that chunk. The size of the chunks that each thread will claim is determined at VM initialization from the size of the card cache and the number of worker threads.

Enabled full verification for humongous regions. Also made sure that the VerifyAfterGC works with deferred updates and G1HRRSFlushLogBuffersOnVerify.
