Make realloc() go 100x faster on Linux/NetBSD

Cosmopolitan now supports mremap(), which is only supported on Linux and
NetBSD. First, it allows memory mappings to be relocated without copying
them; this can dramatically speed up data structures like std::vector if
the array size grows larger than 256kb. The mremap() system call is also
10x faster than munmap() when shrinking large memory mappings.

There's now two functions, getpagesize() and getgransize() which help to
write portable code that uses mmap(MAP_FIXED). Alternative sysconf() may
be called with our new _SC_GRANSIZE. The madvise() system call now has a
better wrapper with improved documentation.

* - `_SC_GRANSIZE` returns addr alignment for mmap()
* - `_SC_CLK_TCK` returns number of clock ticks per second
* - `_SC_ARG_MAX` will perform expensive rlimit calculations
* - `_SC_SIGSTKSZ` returns host platform's preferred SIGSTKSZ
* - `_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ` returns host platform's required MINSIGSTKSZ
* - `_SC_PAGESIZE` currently always returns 65536 due to Windows
