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.
