RFR: 8358706: Integer overflow with -XX:MinOopMapAllocation=-1

Hi everyone,

Passing a negative value to `-XX:MinOopMapAllocation` could trigger an integer overflow. This value is used as the initial size for the `OopMap` `GrowableArray` list inside `OopMapSet`. Negative inputs hits an assert when allocating for `GrowableArray`. Restricting this flag to positive values ensures we get a clear error message instead of a crash.

Testing:
- Oracle tier 1
- Local tests with `-XX:MinOopMapAllocation=x`, covering both valid and invalid values.
