Setting ergo flags using FLAG_SET_ERGO, instead of FLAG_SET_DEFAULT, so we can have the right origin info.

Had to expand ShenandoahEvacReserve range from range(1,100) to range(0,100) because when we use shenandoah passive mode and degen is also turned off (-XX:ShenandoahGCMode=passive -XX:-ShenandoahDegeneratedGC), we set the ShenandoahEvacReserve to 0:

SHENANDOAH_ERGO_OVERRIDE_DEFAULT(ShenandoahEvacReserve, 0);
The issue is surfaced now because FLAG_SET_DEFAULT doesn't check the range but FLAG_SET_ERGO does.

Testing: jtreg gc. GHA pending.

Reviewed the ergo flg setting macro changes. They look good to me.

For the passive mode that requires allowing evac reserve of 0, I'll request @kdnilsen or @earthling-amzn to review.

Hmm, setting ShenandoahEvacReserve to zero will cause a divide by zero error in other modes (it will even cause a divide by zero error in the passive mode if ShenandoahDegeneratedGC is enabled). I'd rather contain the accommodation for this configuration to the passive mode, than accept values that will cause crashes. Could we "inline" the macro on line 41 and allow zero only for this special configuration (passive mode and only full gcs) by changing the "inlined" macro to use SET_DEFAULT still?

If we allow this, somebody will file a bug because -XX:ShenandoahEvacReserve=0 will cause other modes to crash with divide by zero error.

OK, I'll keep the range as it is (1,100), but instead of setting the default with ergo at here:

if (!ShenandoahDegeneratedGC) {
SHENANDOAH_ERGO_OVERRIDE_DEFAULT(ShenandoahEvacReserve, 0);
}
I'll just use FLAG_SET_DEFAULT to bypass the check? We wouldn't have the data source origin in passive mode which is only meant to be diagnostic, but that's better than causing problems in the regular mode.

Ah, missed your general comment above. I think we're talking about the same solution. I'll update the passive mode to use FLAG_SET_DEFAULT.

Yeah, that's what I was suggesting. Thanks!
