We currently have special check in `AOTCodeCache::init2()` to skip AOT code generation and usage if `byte_map_base` is not relocatable [aotCodeCache.cpp#L341](https://github.com/openjdk/leyden/blob/premain/src/hotspot/share/code/aotCodeCache.cpp#L341)

From what I see, it is based on `GCCardSizeInBytes` flag [cardTable.cpp#L46](https://github.com/openjdk/leyden/blob/premain/src/hotspot/share/gc/shared/cardTable.cpp#L46) and never modified. The flags is not adjusted ergonomically.  So we can simple record the flag in AOT code configuration and verify it when loading AOT code.

And I need to fix minimal VM build :(.
