Cherry-pick of #<!-- -->219568 (commit af6ae639c296e3ab141b0ee755eb669945411810) to `release/23.x`. This fixes a false positive in the `unix.StdCLibraryFunctions` checker where `mmap` calls using `MAP_ANON` with `VM_MAKE_TAG` on Darwin are incorrectly flagged as having invalid `fd` values. It is a bug fix with no regression risk; it relaxes an `fd` range check from the static analyzer on Darwin and leaves all other platforms unchanged.
