x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the PMD and PTE levels

_PAGE_NUMA is currently an alias of _PROT_PROTNONE to trap NUMA hinting
faults on x86.  Care is taken such that _PAGE_NUMA is used only in
situations where the VMA flags distinguish between NUMA hinting faults
and prot_none faults.  This decision was x86-specific and conceptually
it is difficult requiring special casing to distinguish between PROTNONE
and NUMA ptes based on context.

Fundamentally, we only need the _PAGE_NUMA bit to tell the difference
between an entry that is really unmapped and a page that is protected
for NUMA hinting faults as if the PTE is not present then a fault will
be trapped.

Swap PTEs on x86-64 use the bits after _PAGE_GLOBAL for the offset.
This patch shrinks the maximum possible swap size and uses the bit to
uniquely distinguish between NUMA hinting ptes and swap ptes.
