MFC r261080: The posix_fallocate(2) syscall should return error number on error, without modifying errno.
MFC r261290: The posix_madvise(3) and posix_fadvise(2) should return error on failure, same as posix_fallocate(2).

Add the posix_fadvise(2) system call. It is somewhat similar to madvise(2) except that it operates on a file descriptor instead of a memory region. It is currently only supported on regular files.
Just as with madvise(2), the advice given to posix_fadvise(2) can be divided into two types. The first type provide hints about data access patterns and are used in the file read and write routines to modify the I/O flags passed down to VOP_READ() and VOP_WRITE(). These modes are thus filesystem independent. Note that to ease implementation (and since this API is only advisory anyway), only a single non-normal range is allowed per file descriptor.
The second type of hints are used to hint to the OS that data will or will not be used. These hints are implemented via a new VOP_ADVISE(). A default implementation is provided which does nothing for the WILLNEED request and attempts to move any clean pages to the cache page queue for the DONTNEED request. This latter case required two other changes. First, a new V_CLEANONLY flag was added to vinvalbuf(). This requests vinvalbuf() to only flush clean buffers for the vnode from the buffer cache and to not remove any backing pages from the vnode. This is used to ensure clean pages are not wired into the buffer cache before attempting to move them to the cache page queue. The second change adds a new vm_object_page_cache() method. This method is somewhat similar to vm_object_page_remove() except that instead of freeing each page in the specified range, it attempts to move clean pages to the cache queue if possible.
To preserve the ABI of struct file, the f_cdevpriv pointer is now reused in a union to point to the currently active advice region if one is present for regular files.

Add MAP_NOSYNC feature to mmap(), and MADV_NOSYNC and MADV_AUTOSYNC to madvise().
This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory. The system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system will still be fully coherent with the filesystem. Modifications made by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are unaffected. The feature works on a page-granularity basis.
MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

Convert caddr_t --> void * for sys/mman.h functions.
mlock, mmap, mprotect, msync, munlock, and munmap are defined by POSIX as taking void *. The const modifier has been added to mlock, munlock, and mprotect as the standard dictates.
minherit comes from OpenBSD and has been updated to conform with their recent change to void *.
madvise and mincore are not defined by POSIX, but their arguments have been modified to be consistent with the POSIX-defined functions. mincore takes a const pointer, but madvise does not due to the MADV_FREE case.
