Following the [JDK-8255796](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8255796) 
improvement that ditched the inline contiguous alloc use from Zero, we can now 
rely on GC interface to hook the GCs properly. G1 and Shenandoah are a bit 
special here, because they require special `Reference.get` handling.

Note that it does not change the default GC for Zero, because Zero is 
implicitly `NeverActAsServerMachine`, which still selects Serial GC by default. 
After this change, Zero users can opt-in to G1 or Shenandoah.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_64 Zero fastdebug `hotspot_gc_shenandoah` (some lingering 
failures about non-enabled compressed oops)
 - [ ] Linux x86_64 Zero fastdebug `tier1` with `-XX:+UseG1GC`
