Although DIRECT_IO_RELAX's initial usage is to allow shared mmap, its
description indicates a purpose of reducing memory footprint. This
may imply that it could be further used to relax other DIRECT_IO
operations in the future.
Replace it with a flag DIRECT_IO_ALLOW_MMAP which does only one thing,
allow shared mmap of DIRECT_IO files while still bypassing the cache
on regular reads and writes.
[Miklos] Also Keep DIRECT_IO_RELAX definition for backward compatibility.
