util/mmap-alloc: Pass flags instead of separate bools to qemu_ram_mmap()

Let's pass flags instead of bools to prepare for passing other flags and
update the documentation of qemu_ram_mmap(). Introduce new QEMU_MAP_
flags that abstract the mmap() PROT_ and MAP_ flag handling and simplify
it.

We expose only flags that are currently supported by qemu_ram_mmap().
Maybe, we'll see qemu_mmap() in the future as well that can implement these
flags.

Note: We don't use MAP_ flags as some flags (e.g., MAP_SYNC) are only
defined for some systems and we want to always be able to identify
these flags reliably inside qemu_ram_mmap() -- for example, to properly
warn when some future flags are not available or effective on a system.
Also, this way we can simplify PROT_ handling as well.

+ * qemu_ram_mmap: mmap anonymous memory, the specified file or device.
+ *
+ * mmap() abstraction to map guest RAM, simplifying flag handling, taking
+ * care of alignment requirements and installing guard pages.
  *
  * Parameters:
  *  @fd: the file or the device to mmap
  *  @size: the number of bytes to be mmaped
  *  @align: if not zero, specify the alignment of the starting mapping address;
  *          otherwise, the alignment in use will be determined by QEMU.
- *  @readonly: true for a read-only mapping, false for read/write.
+ *  @qemu_map_flags: QEMU_MAP_* flags
- *  @shared: map has RAM_SHARED flag.
- *  @is_pmem: map has RAM_PMEM flag.
  *  @map_offset: map starts at offset of map_offset from the start of fd
  *
+ * Internally, MAP_PRIVATE, MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE are set
+ * implicitly based on other parameters.
+ *
  * Return:
  *  On success, return a pointer to the mapped area.
  *  On failure, return MAP_FAILED.
