Use MAP_STACK in qemu_alloc_stack() on OpenBSD.
Added to our 6.4 release.
MAP_STACK Indicate that the mapping is used as a stack. This
flag must be used in combination with MAP_ANON and
MAP_PRIVATE.
Implement MAP_STACK option for mmap(). Synchronous faults (pagefault and
syscall) confirm the stack register points at MAP_STACK memory, otherwise
SIGSEGV is delivered. sigaltstack() and pthread_attr_setstack() are modified
to create a MAP_STACK sub-region which satisfies alignment requirements.
Observe that MAP_STACK can only be set/cleared by mmap(), which zeroes the
contents of the region -- there is no mprotect() equivalent operation, so
there is no MAP_STACK-adding gadget.
