+1,  dropping the "GC" seems better, i.e. `SUN_THREADS_CPUTIME` and 
`sun.threads.cpu_time`. For example, `sun.threads.gc_cpu_time.vm` is strange 
since VM thread also does work unrelated to GC.

For @simonis's point about avoid duplicating the "g1" part in each counter's 
name, I think it is doable. How about the following list of names?


sun.threads.total_gc_cpu_time    // Unchanged. Would 
sun.threads.cpu_time.gc_total look better?
sun.threads.cpu_time.gc_parallel_workers
sun.threads.cpu_time.gc_conc_mark
sun.threads.cpu_time.gc_conc_refine
sun.threads.cpu_time.vm
sun.threads.cpu_time.conc_dedup


`gc_conc_mark` and `gc_conc_refine` are currently tied to G1. It seems OK 
because these counters would not exist if G1 is not selected. If other 
collectors want to implement `gc_conc_mark` in the future, they could implement 
their own definition of this counter, or move G1's definition to a shared place.

@simonis does the list of names above look good to you?
