JavaMemoryModel: Another attempt at formalizing finalization; need particular attention from parallel GC people

An additional observation:

One of the Reference classes (I would have to go into the document to
recall which one :-) requires that GROUPS of References be detected as
unreachable ALL AT ONCE. This would seem to imply some interesting
underlying synchronization / atomicity properties, though perhaps rather
indirectly compared with the JMM.
