[RFC v4 09/10] S.A.R.A. WX Protection procattr interface

This allow threads to get current WX Protection flags for themselves or
for other threads (if they have CAP_MAC_ADMIN).
It also allow a thread to set itself flags to a stricter set of rules than
the current one.
Via a new wxprot flag (SARA_WXP_FORCE_WXORX) is it possible to ask the
kernel to rescan the memory and remove the VM_WRITE flag from any area
that is marked both writable and executable.
Protections that prevent the runtime creation of executable code
can be troublesome for all those programs that actually need to do it
e.g. programs shipping with a JIT compiler built-in.
This feature can be use to run the JIT compiler with few restrictions while
enforcing full WX Protection in the rest of the program.
To simplify access to this interface a CC0 licensed library is available
here: https://github.com/smeso/libsara
