sys::mman: adding few madvise flags. (#2559)

* sys::mman: adding few madvise flags.

- `MADV_PAGEOUT` which reclaim the address range, swapping it out
if the page is anonymous or written back to disk if it's backed up
by a file.
- `MADV_COLD` which deactivate the address range but as a hint.
- `MADV_WIPEONFORK` after `fork()`, the address range is wiped out
to avoid sharing sensible data between processes.
- `MADV_KEEPONFORK` disables `MADV_WIPEONFORK` workflow.

* Update changelog/2559.added.md
