* Introduced new area creation flag CREATE_AREA_DONT_COMMIT_MEMORY.

Browse Source 
map_backing_store() doesn't commit memory when this flag is given.
* Used the new flag vm_copy_area(): We no longer commit memory for read-only
  areas. This prevents read-only mapped files from suddenly requiring memory
  after fork(). Might improve the situation on machines with very little RAM
  a bit.
  We should probably mark writable copies over-committing, since the usual
  case is fork() + exec() where the child normally doesn't need more than a
  few pages until calling exec(). That would significantly reduce the memory
  requirement for jamming the Haiku tree.
