Fix coredump_phnum test with ASLR enabled

Description

Fix coredump_phnum test with ASLR enabled

coredump_phnum intends to generate a core file with many PT_LOAD
segments. Previously it called mmap() in a loop with alternating
protections, relying on each mapping following the previous, to produce
a core file with many page-sized PT_LOAD segments. With ASLR on we no
longer have this property of each mmap() following the previous.

Instead, perform a single allocation, and then use mprotect() to set
alternating pages to PROT_READ.
