Auto-detect sequential mmap reads and do sync/async readahead for them.
The sequential mmap readahead will be triggered when
- sync readahead: it's a major fault and (prev_offset==offset-1);
- async readahead: minor fault on PG_readahead page with valid readahead state.
It's a bit conservative to require valid readahead state for async readahead,
which means we don't do readahead for interleaved reads for now, but let's make
it safe for this initial try.
