Introduce a new sysctl to retrieve VM map entries
This adds a new sysctl KERN_PROC_VMMAP, which returns an array of VM map entries of a specified process. This prevents debuggers from iterating vm_map_entry RB tree via kvm(3). The name KERN_PROC_VMMAP and struct kinfo_vmentry are chosen from the same function in FreeBSD. struct kinfo_vmentry is revised to reduce size, because OpenBSD does not keep track of filepaths. The semantic is also changed to return max buffer size as a hint, and start iteration at the specified base address. Much valuable input from deraadt@, guenther@, tedu@ OK tedu@ deraadt@
