History of ZGC garbage collector #300

Description

Follow-up to #293 and sybling task to #301

I have noticed, the history of "ZGC" garbage collector contains a number of somewhat connected JEPs spanning from JEP 333 where it was first introduced to most recent update JEP 490.

While I don't think this is the traditional "linking" demo, because it is not exactly the "incubator" => "preview" => "final" schema, the connection between them still should be mapped and somehow mentioned in comments, to give users better picture about the evolution of this garbage collector variant.

Currently, I have no clear idea about the actual task yet. I leave it open for someone daring enough to grab and shape this. If noone takes it, it will end up for me eventually.
