Implement MADV_POPULATE_WRITE fix for SuperSlab allocation

Add support for MADV_POPULATE_WRITE (Linux 5.14+) to force page population
AFTER munmap trimming in SuperSlab fallback path.

Changes:
1. core/box/ss_os_acquire_box.c (lines 171-201):
   - Apply MADV_POPULATE_WRITE after munmap prefix/suffix trim
   - Fallback to explicit page touch for kernels < 5.14
   - Always cleanup suffix region (remove MADV_DONTNEED path)

2. core/superslab_cache.c (lines 111-121):
   - Use MADV_POPULATE_WRITE instead of memset for efficiency
   - Fallback to memset if madvise fails

Testing Results:
- Page faults: Unchanged (~145K per 1M ops)
- Throughput: -2% (4.18M → 4.10M ops/s with HAKMEM_SS_PREFAULT=1)
- Root cause: 97.6% of page faults are from libc memset in initialization,
  not from SuperSlab memory access

Conclusion: MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is effective for SuperSlab memory,
but overall page fault bottleneck comes from TLS/shared pool initialization.
Startup warmup remains the most effective solution (already implemented
in bench_random_mixed.c with +9.5% improvement).
