Introduced a new write_ref_array(HeapWords* start, size_t count) method that does the requisite MemRegion range calculation so (some of the) clients of the erstwhile write_ref_array(MemRegion mr) do not need to worry. This removed all external uses of array_size(), which was also simplified and made private. Asserts were added to catch other possible issues. Further, less essential, fixes stemming from this investigation are deferred to CR 6904516 (to follow shortly in hs17).

ScavengeALot now causes an incremental (but possibly partially young, in the G1 sense) collection. Some such collections may be abandoned on account of MMU specs. Band-aided a native leak associated with abandoned pauses, as well as an MMU tracker overflow related to frequent scavenge events in the face of a large MMU denominator interval; the latter is protected by a product flag that defaults to false.

Call newly created CollectedHeap::dump_{pre,post}_full_gc before and after every stop-world full collection cycle on GenCollectedHeap and ParallelScavengeHeap. (Support for G1CollectedHeap forthcoming under CR 6810861.) Small modifications to existing heap dumping and class histogram implementation, especially to allow multiple on-the-fly histos/dumps by the VM thread during a single safepoint.
