RFR: 8161604: TestNewSizeFlags fails with RuntimeException: max new size != MaxNewSize value

[Michail Chernov]

Hi Sangheon,

Thanks you for reviewing this. I'm no sure that explanations are needed 
in whitebox.cpp. I added the throwing of RuntimeException if we try to 
invoke Parallel GC specific methods when use not Parallel GC. Exception 
is more clear than 0 that was returned from methods. Existing tests 
which use that methods are passed with all collectors.

Updated review:

Thanks,
Michail
