[foreign-memaccess] RFR: 8254343: Revisit API for supporting mapped memory segments (second option)

This patch contains an alternate approach to support mapped memory segment operations,
effectively addressing the issues described in PR/377.

Here, support for mapped segments is reduced to bare minimum in the public API; a mapped segment is a segment whose
file descriptor is set.

A separate helper class `MappedMemorySegments` exposes the same routines which are now provided by
`MappedMemorySegment`.
