6896647: card marks can be deferred too long

Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.
