Test: fastdebug image building (that's what I mostly do, but ymmv)

Either using -XX:+UseG1GC wherever there is currently -XX:+UseSerialGC in the 
makefiles - this is the case after making G1 default always (JEP 523); without 
JEP 523 one would either get Serial by default (exactly the same as before) or 
G1, which I explicitly tested.

$ for i in seq 0 4; do make reconfigure clean CONF=fastdebug-test; 
/usr/bin/time -a -o baseline.time make CONF=fastdebug-test images ; done

    the build configurations may not have been completely comparable across 
platforms; basically using whatever was configured at the time. Mix of open 
only/including closed sources.
    note that depending OS, time output is different
    the systems were idle, but not particularly benchmark-prepared

To me this is significantly enough to be the same (comparing e.g. user times 
differences are very small), so I will go ahead removing the flags.
