util: make `mmapread()` work on Windows again 522b4d729e89 started referencing `mmap.MAP_PRIVATE`, but that's not available on Windows, so `hg version` worked, but `make local` did not. That commit also started calling the constructor with the fine-grained `flags` and `prot` args, but those aren't available on Windows either[1] (though the backing C code doesn't seem conditionalized to disallow usage of them). I assume the change away from from the `access` arg was to provide the same options, plus `MAP_POPULATE`. Looking at the source code[2], they're not quite the same- `ACCESS_READ` is equivalent to `flags = MAP_SHARED` and `prot = PROT_READ`. `MAP_PRIVATE` is only used with `ACCESS_COPY`, which allows read and write. Therefore, we can't quite get the same baseline flags on Windows, but this was the status quo ante and `MAP_POPULATE` is a Linux thing, so presumably it works. I realize that typically the OS differences are abstracted into the platform modules, but I'm leaving it here so that it is obvious what the differences are between the platforms.

Commands
========
The following commands are still available but their use are not recommended:
``locate``
This command has been replaced by `hg files`.
``parents``
This command can be replaced by `hg summary` or `hg log` with appropriate
revsets. See `hg help revsets` for more information.
``tip``
The recommended alternative is `hg heads`.
Options
=======
``web.allowpull``
Renamed to `allow-pull`.
``web.allow_push``
Renamed to `allow-push`.
