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.

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
