RFR (backport of): 8028391 - Make the Min/MaxHeapFreeRatio flags manageable

[Bengt Rutisson]

Hi Jesper,

I browsed the 7u60 back port and it looks fine as far as I can tell.

I did not look at the 8u20 back port since I don't think you need a 
review if it applied cleanly.


One small detail that you probably should not change for these back 
ports but that I should have noticed in the original patch is the error 
message in Arguments::verify_MinHeapFreeRatio(). It says 
"MinHeapFreeRatio must have a value between 0 and 100" but in fact we 
only allow 0-99.

I guess this is probably not worth fixing. Not even for 9. But I just 
wanted to mention it since I should have caught it in the original review.

Thanks,
Bengt
