6906727: UseCompressedOops: some card-marking fixes related to object arrays
Summary: Introduced a new write_ref_array(HeapWords* start, size_t count) method that does the requisite MemRegion range calculation so (some of the) clients of the erstwhile write_ref_array(MemRegion mr) do not need to worry. This removed all external uses of array_size(), which was also simplified and made private. Asserts were added to catch other possible issues. Further, less essential, fixes stemming from this investigation are deferred to CR 6904516 (to follow shortly in hs17).

6899058: G1: Internal error in ptrQueue.cpp:201 in nightly tests
Summary: Fixes a race on the dirty card queue completed buffer list between worker thread(s) performing a flush of a deferred store barrier (enqueueing a newly completed buffer) and worker thread(s) in the RSet updating code claiming completed buffers. Removed the routine that removes elements from the completed update buffer queue using a CAS.

6902303: G1: ScavengeALot should cause an incremental, rather than a full, collection
Summary: ScavengeALot now causes an incremental (but possibly partially young, in the G1 sense) collection. Some such collections may be abandoned on account of MMU specs. Band-aided a native leak associated with abandoned pauses, as well as an MMU tracker overflow related to frequent scavenge events in the face of a large MMU denominator interval; the latter is protected by a product flag that defaults to false.

6895788: G1: SATB and update buffer allocation code allocates too much space
Summary: The type in the NEW_C_HEAP_ARRRY and FREE_C_HEAP_ARRAY calls in the buffer allocation code was changed from void* to char as the size argument had already been mulitipled by the byte size of an object pointer.
