G1 maximum compaction should make the heap contiguous

      Currently G1 (maximum) compaction during full gc does not make sure that the heap is fully committed and contiguous to maximize opportunities for destinations for humongous objects.

      I.e. the maximum compaction could still fail to find contiguous space for humongous objects due to holes in the commit map.

      Fix this; think and test whether the additional commit activity has too significant impact on heap size.
