Patch #1407135, bug #1424041, make mmap.mmap(-1, length) work the same
on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows. Restores behaviour of passing -1
for anonymous memory on Unix. Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since
the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages.
Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows?
0 is a valid fd.
Will backport bugfix portions.
