G1: Allow heap shrinking / memory unmapping after reclaiming regions during Remark

    Description

      Right now G1 can only expand the heap outside of full GC, never shrink it.

      Given that G1 does incrementally compact the heap, it might be a good opportunity to do that whenever regions are actually made available again (GC cleanup, possibly at the end of the mixed gc cycle).
