Log:
[ARM][AArch64] Workaround ARM/AArch64 peculiarity in clearing icache.

Certain ARM implementations treat icache clear instruction as a memory read,
and CPU segfaults on trying to clear cache on !PROT_READ page.
We workaround this in Memory::protectMappedMemory by adding
PROT_READ to affected pages, clearing the cache, and then setting
desired protection.

This fixes "AllocationTests/MappedMemoryTest.***/3" unit-tests on
affected hardware.
