 Don't use mmap symbols when !RTS_LINKER_USE_MMAP

 Some usages of symbols from sys/mman.h are guarded by
 RTS_LINKER_USE_MMAP by C conditionals, not CPP conditionals. Since those
 branches are dead anyway when !RTS_LINKER_USE_MMAP, we just stub out the
 relevant symbols rather than increasing CPP branching.

 Fixes #12839.
