RFR: 8260349: Cannot programmatically retrieve Metaspace max set via JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS

A simple but long standing bug whereby the MemoryPool MXBean only sees the value of MaxMetaspaceSize if it was set directly on the command-line and not by other means (e.g. env var).

Fix is to check !FLAG_IS_DEFAULT rather than FLAG_IS_CMDLINE.

Expanded regression test added (based on the reproducer in the JBS issue) that checks all the ways to set the flag: cmd-line, env-var, hotspotrc file

Testing: regression test (before and after fix)
             tiers 1-3 (in progress)

Thanks,
David
