Emanuele f2e8d5a3eb fix(libkernel): address the macOS memory protection review
- mlock on macOS wires only the pages libkernel has not wired yet. XNU
  counts each wire of a page, and the locked ranges merge overlapping
  locks, so a page locked twice stayed wired after munlock and
  munlockall. The mlock test checks the wire count on macOS.
- mprotect changes a watched page through GuestWriteWatchProtect, which
  applies the host protection and records it under the write watch's
  lock, so a collection on another thread cannot run between the two.
  The write watch test covers it.
- sceKernelVirtualQuery takes a watched page's write permission from the
  write watch for memory outside the guest allocation registry.
- GuestAllocationsGuestPages counts an image segment up to the end of
  its last host page, as the image page collection does.
- The macOS includes stay in main's include block, so the host code
  other pull requests add there still sees them; the unused Mach-O
  headers and the end trim, which never changed the protected spans,
  are gone, and the guest page size is passed in.
- The libc and libkernel debt entries describe what is wired now.
