util/mmap-alloc: support MAP_SYNC in qemu_ram_mmap() 

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).

Current, We have below different possible use cases:

1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
   a: backend is a dax supporting file.
    - MAP_SYNC will active.
   b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
    - mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored

2. The rest of cases:
   - we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

----------------------
Though QEMU supports multiple types of vNVDIMM backends on Linux,
currently the only one that can guarantee the guest write persistence
is the device DAX on the real NVDIMM device (e.g., /dev/dax0.0), to
which all guest access do not involve any host-side kernel cache.
the only backend that can guarantee the guest write persistence is:
A. DAX device (e.g., /dev/dax0.0, ) or
B. DAX file(mounted with dax option)
When using B (A file supporting direct mapping of persistent memory)
as a backend, write persistence is guaranteed if the host kernel has
support for the MAP_SYNC flag in the mmap system call (available
since Linux 4.15 and on certain distro kernels) and additionally
both 'pmem' and 'share' flags are set to 'on' on the backend.
If these conditions are not satisfied i.e. if either 'pmem' or 'share'
are not set, if the backend file does not support DAX or if MAP_SYNC
is not supported by the host kernel, write persistence is not
guaranteed after a system crash. For compatibility reasons, these
conditions are ignored if not satisfied. Currently, no way is
provided to test for them.
For more details, please reference mmap(2) man page:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/mmap.2.html.
When using other types of backends, it's suggested to set 'unarmed'
option of '-device nvdimm' to 'on', which sets the unarmed flag of the

If @option{pmem} is set to 'on', QEMU will take necessary operations to
guarantee the persistence of its own writes to @option{mem-path}
(e.g. in vNVDIMM label emulation and live migration).
Also, we will map the backend-file with MAP_SYNC flag, which ensures the
file metadata is in sync for @option{mem-path} in case of host crash
or a power failure. MAP_SYNC requires support from both the host kernel
(since Linux kernel 4.15) and the filesystem of @option{mem-path} mounted
