x86: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS

x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for
64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address.  This
value represents a compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and
avoiding address-space fragmentation.  Replace it with a Kconfig option,
which is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where
to place this compromise.  Keep default values as new minimums.
