Corinna Vinschen 605bdcd410 Cygwin: map beyond EOF on 64 bit and WOW64 as well
32 bit Cygwin performs a POSIX-compatible mapping after EOF which
is not supported in this form on Windows.  The 64 bit Windows
kernel never supported the AT_ROUND_TO_PAGE mapping flag, so we
couldn't page-aligned map the space right after the file's EOF.
So mapping beyond EOF was disabled in 64 bit Windows and WOW64.

However,  if mmap works, a matching munmap should work as well,
*and* it should not accidentally unmap unrelated memory.

Therefore we enable mapping beyond EOF on 64 bit as well.  Since
that mapping is always 64K aligned, the are between the last file
page and the next 64K allocation boundary will be unallocated.
There's no way around that.
