Also reviewed by mikael.gerdin@oracle.com; stdlib:qsort() does byte-by-byte swapping on Windows. This leads to pointer shearing. Fix is to implement a quicksort that does full pointer updates.

It turns out that there is no need to explicitly stop CMS since the JVM is taken down at a terminal safepoint during which CMS threads are (terminally) inactive. This will need to be revised if and when we evolve in the future to a point where we allow JVM reincarnation in the same process, but those changes will be much more sweeping than just terminating CMS threads. The unused ::stop() methods will be removed in a separate CR. Also include in this CR is the fix for a small typo in the spelling of UseGCLogFileRotation in a message in arguments.cpp, brought to our attention by Rainer Jung and reviewed by minqi.

Fixed process_chunk_boundaries(), used for parallel card scanning when using ParNew/CMS, so as to prevent double-scanning, or worse, non-scanning of imprecisely marked objects exceeding parallel chunk size. Made some sizing parameters for parallel card scanning diagnostic, disabled ParallelGCRetainPLAB, and elaborated and clarified some comments.

BlockOffsetArrayUseUnallocatedBlock was intended to be turned off as part of BUG 6948538 but a code line in collectorPolicy.cpp actually kept it turned on.

In G1 heap verification, we no longer scan perm to G1-collected heap refs as part of process_strong_roots() but rather in a separate explicit oop iteration over the perm gen. This preserves the original perm card-marks. Added a new assertion in younger_refs_iterate() to catch a simple subcase where the user may have forgotten a prior save_marks() call, as happened in the case of G1's attempt to iterate perm to G1 refs when verifying the heap before exit. The assert was deliberately weakened for ParNew+CMS and will be fixed for that combination in a future CR. Also made some (non-G1) cleanups related to code and comments obsoleted by the migration of Symbols to the native heap.
