procfs: add VmFlags field in smaps output

During c/r sessions we've found that there is no way at the moment to
fetch some VMA associated flags, such as mlock() and madvise().

This leads us to a problem -- we don't know if we should call for mlock()
and/or madvise() after restore on the vma area we're bringing back to
life.

This patch intorduces a new field into "smaps" output called VmFlags,
where all set flags associated with the particular VMA is shown as two
letter mnemonics.

[ Strictly speaking for c/r we only need mlock/madvise bits but it has been
  said that providing just a few flags looks somehow inconsistent.  So all
  flags are here now. ]

This feature is made available on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=n kernels, as
other applications may start to use these fields.

The data is encoded in a somewhat awkward two letters mnemonic form, to
encourage userspace to be prepared for fields being added or removed in
the future.
