Add the public field alloc_flags to struct iosys_map. It allows for
the allocator of the mapping to store additional flags, such details
about the internal alloctor operations. This will be helpful with
DRM's TTM memory manager, which supports various types of memory in
it's vmap functions.
The new field fills existing padding bytes in struct iosys_map, so
instances of the type do not grow in size.
