JDK-8003820 - Deprecate untested and rarely used GC combinations
Description
As part of 8003820 we will deprecate the DefNew + CMS combination. The default for CMS is ParNew + CMS, but on single CPU systems we select DefNew instead of ParNew.

Since we by default select a combination that we are deprecating we should change the default to the supported combination ParNew + CMS.

The performance impact of this needs to be evaluated.

Suggested release note: On Single CPU machines Hotspot now picks ParNew with one worker thread instead of DefNew as the default young collector for CMS. To use DefNew, add -XX:-UseParNewGC on the command line when using CMS. Note that this combination will work but has been deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release.
