page-types: learn to describe flags directly from command line 

Teach page-types to describe page flags directly from the command line.

Why is this useful?  For instance, if you're using memory hotplug and see
this in /var/log/messages:

	kernel: removing from LRU failed 3836dd0/1/1e00000000000010

It would be nice to decode those page flags without staring at the source.

Example usage and output:

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d 0x10
0x0000000000000010	____D_____________________________	dirty

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon
0x0000000000001000	____________a_____________________	anonymous

# Documentation/vm/page-types -d anon,0x10
0x0000000000001010	____D_______a_____________________	dirty,anonymous
