6484982: G1: process references during evacuation pauses Summary: G1 now uses two reference processors - one is used by concurrent marking and the other is used by STW GCs (both full and incremental evacuation pauses). In an evacuation pause, the reference processor is embedded into the closures used to scan objects. Doing so causes causes reference objects to be 'discovered' by the reference processor. At the end of the evacuation pause, these discovered reference objects are processed - preserving (and copying) referent objects (and their reachable graphs) as appropriate.

//     a normal oop, treating its references as strong references).

//     referent is also in the same span. This is the simplest,
//     most "local" and most conservative approach, albeit one
//     that may cause weak references to be enqueued least promptly.

//     the referent in DefNewGeneration), and provided the processing
//     of this reference object by the current collector will
//     appear atomic to every other collector in the system.
//     (Thus, for instance, a concurrent collector may not
//     discover references in other generations even if the
