bfb4a51e30 executor: Protect the coverage buffer
Add functions to protect and unprotect the coverage buffer. The buffer is
protected from being written to while tracing. When the trace data is
sorted we need to make it read/write, but can return it to read only after
this has completed.

Leave the first page as read/write as we need to clear the length field.

b5df78dc5d all: support extra coverage
Right now syzkaller only supports coverage collected from the threads that
execute syscalls. However some useful things happen in background threads,
and it would be nice to collect coverage from those threads as well.

This change adds extra coverage support to syzkaller. This coverage is not
associated with a particular syscall, but rather with the whole program.
Executor passes extra coverage over the same ipc mechanism to syz-fuzzer
with syscall number set to -1. syz-fuzzer then passes this coverage to
syz-manager with the call name "extra".

This change requires the following kcov patch:

9fe4bdc5f1 executor: overhaul
Make as much code as possible shared between all OSes.
In particular main is now common across all OSes.
Make more code shared between executor and csource
(in particular, loop function and threaded execution logic).
Also make loop and threaded logic shared across all OSes.
Make more posix/unix code shared across OSes
(e.g. signal handling, pthread creation, etc).
Plus other changes along similar lines.
Also support test OS in executor (based on portable posix)
and add 4 arches that cover all execution modes
(fork server/no fork server, shmem/no shmem).

This change paves way for testing of executor code
and allows to preserve consistency across OSes and executor/csource.
