This patch adds a mapping offset to MemorySegment::mapFromPath. This usability enhancement has been requested many
times, and it would be nice to add it to the API, to make it more similar to FileChannel::map, and to allow for more
efficient memory usage when dealing with mapped files.

I also added more  tests on mapped segments, to check for edge cases; and also to verify that mapping from offset
actually works.
