getrampagesize() returns the largest supported page size and mainly
used to know if huge pages are enabled.
However is implemented in target-ppc/kvm.c and not available
in TCG or other architectures.
This renames and moves gethugepagesize() to mmap-alloc.c where
fd-based analog of it is already implemented. This renames and moves
getrampagesize() to exec.c as it seems to be the common place for
helpers like this.

Since commit 8561c9244d "exec: allocate PROT_NONE pages on top of
RAM", it is no longer possible to back guest RAM with hugepages on ppc64
hosts:
mmap(NULL, 285212672, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x3fff57000000
mmap(0x3fff57000000, 268435456, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 19, 0) = -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)
This is because on ppc64, Linux fixes a page size for a virtual address
at mmap time, so we can't switch a range of memory from anonymous
small pages to hugetlbs with MAP_FIXED.
See commit d0f13e3c20b6fb73ccb467bdca97fa7cf5a574cd
("[POWERPC] Introduce address space "slices"") in Linux
history for the details.
Detect this and create the PROT_NONE mapping using the same fd.
Naturally, this makes the guard page bigger with hugetlbfs.

Anonymous and file-backed RAM allocation are now almost exactly the same.
Reduce code duplication by moving RAM mmap code out of oslib-posix.c and
exec.c.
