util: make `mmapread()` work on Windows again
522b4d729e89 started referencing `mmap.MAP_PRIVATE`, but that's not available on
Windows, so `hg version` worked, but `make local` did not. That commit also
started calling the constructor with the fine-grained `flags` and `prot` args,
but those aren't available on Windows either[1] (though the backing C code
doesn't seem conditionalized to disallow usage of them).
I assume the change away from from the `access` arg was to provide the same
options, plus `MAP_POPULATE`. Looking at the source code[2], they're not quite
the same- `ACCESS_READ` is equivalent to `flags = MAP_SHARED` and `prot = PROT_READ`.
`MAP_PRIVATE` is only used with `ACCESS_COPY`, which allows read and write.
Therefore, we can't quite get the same baseline flags on Windows, but this was
the status quo ante and `MAP_POPULATE` is a Linux thing, so presumably it works.
I realize that typically the OS differences are abstracted into the platform
modules, but I'm leaving it here so that it is obvious what the differences are
between the platforms.
