Extend the guard region self tests to explicitly assert that guard regions
work correctly for functionality specific to file-backed and shmem
mappings.

In addition to testing all of the existing guard region functionality that
is currently tested against anonymous mappings against file-backed and
shmem mappings (except those which are exclusive to anonymous mapping), we
now also:

* Test that MADV_SEQUENTIAL does not cause unexpected readahead behaviour.
* Test that MAP_PRIVATE behaves as expected with guard regions installed in
  both a shared and private mapping of an fd.
* Test that a read-only file can correctly establish guard regions.
* Test a probable fault-around case does not interfere with guard regions
  (or vice-versa).
* Test that truncation does not eliminate guard regions.
* Test that hole punching functions as expected in the presence of guard
  regions.
* Test that a read-only mapping of a memfd write sealed mapping can have
  guard regions established within it and function correctly without
  violation of the seal.
* Test that guard regions installed into a mapping of the anonymous zero
  page function correctly.

Impressive.
