Pass MapSize before Offset.
Alternatively, update getOpenFileSlice to have this order/name. My only preference is that they match.

Why was it necessary to move this?
Currently if the user passes the MapSize and we don't require a null terminator, we never call stat in here, since we don't need the file size.
I now notice that we call stat in mapped_file_region, which is a regression from when we transitioned to mapped_file_region :-(
In any case , if we can avoid an extra stat we should.
