[scudo] Check if MADV_DONTNEED zeroes memory

[vitalybuka]

Summary

QEMU just ignores MADV_DONTNEED
https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/b1cffefa1b163bce9aebc3416f562c1d3886eeaa/linux-user/syscall.c#L11941

Depends on D100998.

Thank you for finding this!
LGTM with a couple of nits

getPageSizeCached() maybe

112

Maybe for clarity some enum to have descriptive names associated to 0/1/2

[vitalybuka]

add enum

I believe in most cases of NoFill it's not needed.
However I could not tell if anything internal, like zeroing header, will not be broken without memset. I don't see issues other then FillContentsMode tests.

Having that we don't expect this branch running without QEMU, I guess it's fine to keep as is.

Have you reported this bug to QEMU? Unfortunately the comment you linked to is inaccurate about madvise being a hint on Linux [1].

I agree that this does not match strange but documented behavior.
Unfortunately there is a lot of comments about that online but no new/closed bug on the QEMU tracker.
