gh-87595: Support mmap.size() for anonymous mapping on Unix (GH-24781)

ZackerySpytz · serhiy-storchaka · web-flow · commit 32032ee376fe · 2025-09-02T23:24:06.000+03:00
Previously, the size would be returned on Windows and an OSError would
be raised on Unix.

Also, raise ValueError instead of OSError for trackfd=False.
