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.
