runtime: compute goal first in gcSetTriggerRatio

This slightly rearranges gcSetTriggerRatio to compute the goal before
computing the other controls. This will simplify implementing the heap
limit, which needs to control the absolute goal and flow the rest of
the control parameters from this.

For #16843.
