[llvm] [Support] mmap when possible in getSTDIN. (PR #162013)

[via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/aokblast created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/162013

When stdin is executed like ./prog < file, we are able to mmap the buffer so that we can reduce the total memory usage if we try to open a large file.

Subject: [PATCH] [Support] mmap when possible in getSTDIN.

When stdin is executed like ./prog < file, we are able to mmap the
buffer so that we can reduce the total memory usage if we try to open a
large file.
