RFR (S): JDK-8006432 - Ratio flags should be unsigned

[Tao Mao]

PS1:
Jesper, how did you check and make sure that modified flags are treated 
properly at all their occurrences? (So I can apply generally. For the 
review, I manually checked all of their occurrences).



PS2:
product(intx, SurvivorRatio, 8,                                           \
              "Ratio of eden/survivor space 
size")                              \
\
product(intx, NewRatio, 2,                                                \
              "Ratio of new/old generation 
sizes")                              \

For clarity and consistency with SurvivorRatio definition, the NewRatio 
definition above should be reversed as "Ratio of *old/new* generation sizes"

What are your opinions? If you favor my suggestion, I'll go ahead 
creating a CR and modify it, since it's a fairly busy VM option.

Thank you.
Tao
