Jason Evans 62f2d84e7a Refactor madvise(2) configuration.
Add feature tests for the MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED flags to
madvise(2), so that MADV_FREE is detected and used for Linux kernel
versions 4.5 and newer.  Refactor pages_purge() so that on systems which
support both flags, MADV_FREE is preferred over MADV_DONTNEED.

This resolves #387.
