RFR: 8277854: The upper bound of GCCardSizeInBytes should be limited to 512 for 32-bit platforms

Hi all,

runtime/CommandLine/OptionsValidation/TestOptionsWithRanges.java crashes on linux/x86_32 with `-XX:GCCardSizeInBytes=1024`.

This is because if`-XX:GCCardSizeInBytes=1024` then `BOTConstants::N_words` [1] would be 256.
Then the guarantee [2] always fails due to _bot->offset_array(start_card), which is a u_char value, never equals to 256.

So for 32-bit platforms, the upper bound of `GCCardSizeInBytes` should be limited to 512.

Thanks.
Best regards,
Jie
