If an unsupported GC (i.e. a GC that is not built into the VM) is
selected by the user, the VM issues a warning and then continues and
(silently) selects a different GC. Aleksey brought this up on the ZGC
list [1]. I agree that this behavior seems dubious. With this patch we
instead fail immediately to avoid unnecessary confusion.
