Make sv39 the default address space for mmap as some applications
currently depend on this assumption. The RISC-V specification enforces
that bits outside of the virtual address range are not used, so
restricting the size of the default address space as such should be
temporary. A hint address passed to mmap will cause the largest address
space that fits entirely into the hint to be used. If the hint is less
than or equal to 1<<38, a 39-bit address will be used. After an address
space is completely full, the next smallest address space will be used.
Documentation is also added to the RISC-V virtual memory section to explain
these changes.
