util: make `mmapread()` work on Windows again...
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.

Some Mercurial commands can produce a lot of output, and Mercurial will
attempt to use a pager to make those commands more pleasant.
To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::
[pager]
pager = less -FRX
If no pager is set in the user or repository configuration, Mercurial uses the
environment variable $PAGER. If $PAGER is not set, pager.pager from the default
or system configuration is used. If none of these are set, a default pager will
be used, typically `less` on Unix and `more` on Windows.
.. container:: windows
On Windows, `more` is not color aware, so using it effectively disables color.
MSYS and Cygwin shells provide `less` as a pager, which can be configured to
support ANSI color codes. See :hg:`help config.color.pagermode` to configure
the color mode when invoking a pager.
You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::
[pager]
ignore = version, help, update
To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.
To control whether the pager is used at all for an individual command,
you can use --pager=<value>:
- use as needed: `auto`.
- require the pager: `yes` or `on`.
- suppress the pager: `no` or `off` (any unrecognized value
will also work).
To globally turn off all attempts to use a pager, set::
[ui]
paginate = never
which will prevent the pager from running.
