RFR: 8367413: Refactor types in Arguments::set_heap_size() [v3]

[Joel Sikström]

> Hello,
> 
> There are several integer types used when setting the heap size ergonomically in `Arguments::set_heap_size()`, such as julong, uint64_t and size_t. It's not clear if this code works as intended on a 32-bit VM with more than 4GB physical memory. There might be issues when converting to/from size_t and uint64_t that we don't handle properly. I suggest we should be more robust and have more control over transitions between potentially smaller types.

> Additionally, I've gone ahead and added comments which I think makes it easier to understand what's going on in this function. I've tried my best to leave the existing behavior unchanged, apart from type conversion.
> 
> When looking at this I tried to get my head around the default value of the MaxRAM flag. Since this flag is closely coupled with setting the heap size, I've also gone ahead and removed some of the 32-bit (x86, Windows) code in relation to this flag.
