Allow G1 for javac workers.

G1 has a smoother memory profile than parallelGC, which is desirable for workers
that users run locally like javac.

Unfortunately, completely getting rid of the parallelGC option regresses Java
build performance. This is because Turbine does not run as a worker—see
https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8006—and G1 seems to do worse than
parallelGC for short-lived programs. So, I simply moved the parallelGC option to
the Turbine-specific jvm opts.

I ran bazel-bench to test the performance this change building //src:bazel_nojdk:
```

  memory:   89.667MB ( -0.74%)   90.000MB ( +0.00%)   0.471MB    0.00000
```

Closes #12598.

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
