runtime: ensure minTriggerRatio never exceeds maxTriggerRatio

Currently, the capping logic for the GC trigger ratio is such that if
gcpercent is low, we may end up setting the trigger ratio far too high,
breaking the promise of SetGCPercent and GOGC has a trade-off knob (we
won't start a GC early enough, and we will use more memory).

This change modifies the capping logic for the trigger ratio by scaling
the minTriggerRatio with gcpercent the same way we scale
maxTriggerRatio.

Fixes #37927.
