8258414: OldObjectSample events too expensive

[flodav]

The purpose of this change is to reduce the size of JFR recordings when the OldObjectSample event is enabled.

Problem

JFR recordings size blows up when the OldObjectSample is enabled. The memory allocation events are known to be very high traffic and will cause a lot of data, just the sheer number of events produced, and if stacktraces are added to this, the associated metadata can be huge as well. Sampled object are stored in a priority queue and their associated stack traces stored in JFRStackTraceRepository. When sample candidates are removed from the priority queue, their stacktraces remain in the repository, which will be later written at chunk rotation even if the sample has been removed.

Implementation

This PR adds a JFRStackTraceRepository dedicated to store stack traces for the OldObjectSample event. At chunk rotation, every sample stack trace is looked up in this repository and is serialized. Other stack traces are simply removed.

Benchmarks

On an AWS c5.metal instance (96 cores, 192 Gib), running SPECjvm2008 with default profile.jfc configuration with OldObjectSample event enabled gives

• a recording size 2.78Mb with the PR fix
• a recording size 20.73Mb with the PR fix
