  * Check upper/lower bounds on various RTS flags (#3633)
  Ignore-this: 8cbbb3f0f2c46711967491d5c028a410
  
  Also, make K mean 1024 rather than 1000, in RTS flags (similarly for M
  and G).  The main reason I want to change it is that otherwise this
  might be confusing:
    
  exp3_8: error in RTS option -H4k: size outside allowed range (4096 - 18446744073709551615)
  
  And I think the original reason for using 1000 instead of 1024,
  worries about direct-mapped caches, is not an issue in this context
  (even if you can find a direct-mapped cache these days).

    M ./rts/RtsFlags.c -59 +59
