7146246: G1: expose some of the -XX flags that drive which old regions to collect during mixed GCs
Summary: Make two G1 cmd line flags available in product builds: G1HeapWastePercent (previously called: G1OldReclaimableThresholdPercent) and G1MixedGCCountTarget (previous called: G1MaxMixedGCNum). Also changed the default of the former from 1% to 5% and the default for G1OldCSetRegionLiveThresholdPercent to 90%.

7147724: G1: hang in SurrogateLockerThread::manipulatePLL
Summary: Attempting to initiate a marking cycle when allocating a humongous object can, if a marking cycle is successfully initiated by another thread, result in the allocating thread spinning until the marking cycle is complete. Eliminate a deadlock between the main ConcurrentMarkThread, the SurrogateLocker thread, the VM thread, and a mutator thread waiting on the SecondaryFreeList_lock (while free regions are going to become available) by not manipulating the pending list lock during the prologue and epilogue of the cleanup pause.
