For current soft-ref clearing policies, we can decide at marking time if a soft-reference will definitely not be cleared, postponing the decision of whether it will definitely be cleared to the final reference processing phase. This can be especially beneficial in the case of concurrent collectors where the marking is usually concurrent but reference processing is usually not.

6660573: G1: BigApps Failure : guarantee(satb_mq_set.completed_buffers_num() == 0,"invariant")
When exiting a mutator thread is removed from the thread list before it has a chance to flush its SATB and barrier queues. If GC happens at this moment the objects that are refererred from these queues can be moved, which will case a crash. The fix is simply to flush the buffers before removing a thread from the list.

An update buffer is not processed correctly, which causes roots into the collection set not to be scanned and, hence, for the heap to be corrupted. The cause is that an object is accessed after it has been explicitly deleted, which causes a race.

6622418: G1: assert(false,"Non-balanced monitor enter/exit!") fails
The mark-sweep compact (which we use for full gc) wrapper did not save the mark words for biased locked objects. The fix is to trivially call the appropriate methods.

Fixed the incorrect assigment to G1OffsetTableContigSpace::_gc_time_stamp. Also added a little more paranoia to operations on a global timestamp.

Experimental() flags will protect features of an experimental nature that are not supported in the regular product build. Made UseG1GC an experimental flag.
