memory: add readonly support to memory_region_init_ram_from_file()

Browse source 
There is currently no way to open(O_RDONLY) and mmap(PROT_READ) when
creating a memory region from a file. This functionality is needed since
the underlying host file may not allow writing.

Add a bool readonly argument to memory_region_init_ram_from_file() and
the APIs it calls.

Extend memory_region_init_ram_from_file() rather than introducing a
memory_region_init_rom_from_file() API so that callers can easily make a
choice between read/write and read-only at runtime without calling
different APIs.

No new RAMBlock flag is introduced for read-only because it's unclear
whether RAMBlocks need to know that they are read-only. Pass a bool
readonly argument instead.

Both of these design decisions can be changed in the future. It just
seemed like the simplest approach to me.
