RFR (S): 8024634 - gc/startup_warnings tests can fail due to unrelated warnings

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

The change look OK.
Would the tests be more "stable" if they were checking for more than one word in 
the warning?

Are there any tests that checks that we do get the deprecated warning for 
deprecated flag combinations? If so, they should probably be changed in the same 
way so that they don't pass because some other non related warning is issued.
