7002546: regression on SpecJbb2005 on 7b118 comparing to 7b117 on small heaps
Relaxed assertion checking related to incremental_collection_failed flag to allow for ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent behaviour where we do not want a failing scavenge to bail to a stop-world collection. Parameterized incremental_collection_will_fail() so we can selectively use, or not use, as appropriate, the statistical prediction at specific use sites. This essentially reverts the scavenge bail-out logic to what it was prior to some recent changes that had inadvertently started using the statistical prediction which can be noisy in the presence of bursty loads. Added some associated verbose non-product debugging messages.

The option CMSInitiatingPermOccupancyFraction now controls perm triggering threshold. Even though the actual value of the threshold has not yet been changed, so there is no change in policy, we now have the infrastructure in place for dynamically deciding when to collect the perm gen, an issue that will be addressed in the near future.
