Description
In G1's concurrent mark files we use an int for the task ID and call it "task num". Recent work done by Jon Masamitsu:

7121618: Change type of number of GC workers to unsigned int

has replaced int's with uint's for the worker IDs across our GCs. We should also make the necessary changes in the G1 files to further conform to that. While we're at it we should also rename "task num" as "worker id" to be consistent with the rest of the GCs.
