JDK-8359925 - Deprecate and obsolete ParallelRefProcEnabled
Description
The `ParallelRefProcEnabled` flag controls whether reference processing is multi-threaded. It is enabled by default, and there is little reason to disable it in modern usage.

Maintaining this flag adds unnecessary complexity to the reference processing logic. To simplify the codebase, we propose to remove (deprecate then obsolete) this flag.

This flag is exclusively utilized by the Parallel/G1 GC.
