Allow link-time and run-time GC configuration

followup of #817:
- updated comments
- allow disabling command line processing through variable override at link time 
- allow enabling environment processing through variable override at link time 
- allow adding configuration option at link time 
- change environment var to DRT_GCOPT
- change default of maxPoolSize to 64
I'm not so happy anymore with the duplicate use of '=' in "gcopt=precise=1". I'll change this to "gcopt=precise:1".
