RFR: 8033426: Scale initial NewSize using NewRatio if not set on command line

[Jesper Wilhelmsson]

Hi Stefan,

Have you looked at how this change plays with the ergonomics for NewSize in 
Arguments::set_cms_and_parnew_gc_flags()? That code will also use NewRatio to 
scale NewSize, but if running with a large CMSYoungGenPerWorker it may end up 
with a larger NewSize. Looks like your change will handle it well, but it would 
be nice with some test to verify it going forward.

Anyways, looks good to me.
Ship it!
/Jesper
