Original commit message: [base] add build flag to use MADV_DONTFORK Embedders like Node.js and Electron expose fork(2)/execve(2) to their users. Unfortunately when the V8 heap is very large, these APIs become rather slow on Linux, due to the kernel needing to do all the bookkeeping for the forked process (in clone's dup_mmap and execve's exec_mmap). Of course, this is useless because the forked child thread will never actually need to access the V8 heap. Add a new build flag v8_enable_private_mapping_fork_optimization which marks all pages allocated by OS::Allocate as MADV_DONTFORK. This improves the performance of Node.js's fork/execve combination by 10x on a 600 MB heap.

Speed up child_process.spawn by enabling the new V8 build flag which makes fork/exec faster. Here are the results of running the existing benchmark. Note that this optimization helps more for applications with larger heaps, so this is somewhat of an underestimate of the real world performance benefits. ```console $ ./node benchmark/compare.js --runs 15 \ --new ./node \ --old ~/node-v20/out/Release/node \ --filter params child_process > cpr $ node-benchmark-compare cpr confidence improvement (***) methodName='exec' n=1000 *** 60.84 % ±5.43% methodName='execFile' n=1000 *** 53.72 % ±3.33% methodName='execFileSync' n=1000 *** 9.10 % ±0.84% methodName='execSync' n=1000 *** 10.44 % ±0.97% methodName='spawn' n=1000 *** 53.10 % ±2.90% methodName='spawnSync' n=1000 *** 8.64 % ±1.22% 0.01 false positives, when considering a 0.1% risk acceptance (***) ``` Fixes: nodejs#25382Fixes: nodejs#14917 Refs: nodejs/performance#93 Refs: nodejs/performance#89

child_process: improve spawn performance on Linux
Speed up child_process.spawn by enabling the new V8 build flag which
makes fork/exec faster.
Here are the results of running the existing benchmark. Note that this
optimization helps more for applications with larger heaps, so this is
somewhat of an underestimate of the real world performance benefits.
