Clarify overridden GC hint value for -Xms case
From:
https://eclipse.dev/openj9/docs/xxusegcstartuphints/
When enabled, this option overrides any initial heap size that is specified on the command line, for example by using the [-Xms](https://eclipse.dev/openj9/docs/xms/) option.
Suggestion:
The overridden value can only be larger than either default or explicitly set -Xms value. So, the above sentence would benefit from something like:
When enabled, this option overrides any initial heap size that is specified on the command line, for example by using the [-Xms](https://eclipse.dev/openj9/docs/xms/) option, while still obeying (-Xms, -Xmx) limits.
@amicic - By "while still obeying (-Xms, -Xmx) limits", do you mean that the new value should be greater than -Xms set value and lesser than -Xmx set value?
