mmap() patch

Squid 3.4.x is now using mmap() in order to handle SMP, it uses mmap() even if
it's not using multiple workers. The patch provided is using the same technique
the PostgreSQL FreeBSD port is using to fight regression - it adds a MAP_NOSYNC
flag to the actual mmap() call to prevent the dirtied pages from being flushed
on disk. Without this flag such pages can be flushed very soon.

I'm using this patch in my largest production for about half a year. It's
working in SMP and non-SMP mode.

However, I didn't do any tests to compare the squid performance with and
without this patch.
