Introduce MAP_ENTRY_GROWS_DOWN and MAP_ENTRY_GROWS_UP to allow for

Description

Introduce MAP_ENTRY_GROWS_DOWN and MAP_ENTRY_GROWS_UP to allow for
growable (stack) entries that not only grow down, but also grow up.
Have vm_map_growstack() take these flags into account when growing
an entry.

This is the first step in adding support for upward growable stacks.
It is a required feature on ia64 to support the register stack (or
rstack as I like to call it -- it also means reverse stack). We do
not currently create rstacks, so the upward growing is not exercised
and the change should be a functional no-op.
