    Use MAP_STACK in qemu_alloc_stack() on OpenBSD.
    
    Added to our 6.4 release.
    
    MAP_STACK      Indicate that the mapping is used as a stack.  This
                   flag must be used in combination with MAP_ANON and
                   MAP_PRIVATE.
    
    Implement MAP_STACK option for mmap().  Synchronous faults (pagefault and
    syscall) confirm the stack register points at MAP_STACK memory, otherwise
    SIGSEGV is delivered. sigaltstack() and pthread_attr_setstack() are modified
    to create a MAP_STACK sub-region which satisfies alignment requirements.
    Observe that MAP_STACK can only be set/cleared by mmap(), which zeroes the
    contents of the region -- there is no mprotect() equivalent operation, so
    there is no MAP_STACK-adding gadget.
