Take 2 : CRR: 7027766: G1: introduce flag to dump the liveness information per region at the end of marking (S)

[Tony Printezis]

Hi all,

First, thanks to Igor for a very prompt review.

After I opened the previous version for code review I realized that if 
we want to create any graphs based on this information having the 
information about all the regions in a humongous region series grouped 
into a single region (which is what I did before) will make the parser 
work a bit harder to extract the per-region information (and we'd like 
that information to track what happens to an individual region over 
time). So, I changed the output format to show the information for 
humongous regions separately for each individual region.

Here's a quick summary of the changes:

- Now there are two tags for humongous regions: HUMS (starts humongous) 
and HUMC (continues humongous)
- I removed the capacity per-region as now all the regions have the same 
capacity which is the region size. So we can save some space there.
- Minor cosmetic changes.
- I actually turned the flag off by default (I had accidentally set its 
default value to true before).

Latest webrev here:

I attached example output from the new workspace (64-bit this time, and 
I made sure it also includes some humongous regions).
