request for review (s) - 8005452: Create new flags for Metaspace resizing policy

[Vitaly Davidovich]

Hi Jon,

Does it make sense to validate that the new flags are consistent (I.e. max
>= min)? That is, if user changes one or both such that max < min, should
VM report an error and not start?

Thanks
