runtime: separate error result for mmap
Currently mmap returns an unsafe.Pointer that encodes OS errors as values less than 4096. In practice this is okay, but it borders on being really unsafe: for example, the value has to be checked immediately after return and if stack copying were ever to observe such a value, it would panic. It's also not remotely idiomatic. Fix this by making mmap return a separate pointer value and error, like a normal Go function. Updates #22218.
