Sharpened an assert, introduced in 6896603, that intended to check that the incremental_collection_failed() predicate on the heap was being reset "soon enough".

Deprecated HandlePromotionFailure, removing the ability to turn off that feature, did away with one epoch look-ahead when deciding if a scavenge is likely to fail, relying on current data.

Closed a timing hole during which concurrent full gc requests can be missed. The hole can increase the latency of the response to a full gc request by up to the value of CMSWaitDuration. If CMSWaitDuration=0 is, as currently, interpreted as an unbounded wait, suitable in certain tuning scenarios, the application can potentially hang. Made two obscure tunables, including CMSWaitDuration, manageable.

There is a race between the concurrent refinement threads and the humongous object allocation that can cause the concurrent refinement threads to corrupt the part of the BOT that it is being initialized by the humongous object allocation operation. The solution is to do the humongous object allocation in careful steps to ensure that the concurrent refinement threads always have a consistent view over the BOT, region contents, and top. The fix includes some very minor tidying up in sparsePRT.

The changes from 6941395 did not clear the CMTask::_aborted_region fields when concurrent marking aborted because of overflow. As a result, the next time around we could see a memory region whose start address was above the global finger and the assertion tripped. Moved the clearing of the aborted regions to ConcurrentMark::clear_marking_state, which is executed on all of the exit paths.

The remembered set iterator for sparse tables incorrectly assumes that index 0 corresponds to the bottom of the heap, not address 0 as it is the case.
