JDK-8156870 :  
Description
It should be possible to do the GC verification at more granular levels. Verify*GC flags are used to do the GC verification before, during and after GC. But due to the cumbersome nature of the verification done with these options, most of the times, the process becomes very slow and it becomes difficult to reproduce the problem/crash with the verification turned on.

The goal of this enhancement request to provide a way to specify more granular levels of GC verification.
