6684579: SoftReference processing can be made more efficient
Summary: 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.

26 ** This file contains a few classes that represent number sequence,
27 ** x1, x2, x3, ..., xN, and can calculate their avg, max, and sd.
28 **
29 ** Here's a quick description of the classes:
30 **
31 ** AbsSeq: abstract superclass
32 ** NumberSeq: the sequence is assumed to be very long and the
33 ** maximum, avg, sd, davg, and dsd are calculated over all its elements
34 ** TruncatedSeq: this class keeps track of the last L elements
35 ** of the sequence and calculates avg, max, and sd only over them
