Currently the recover4 test, which recovers from a panic created from a
fault, generates a fault by creating a hole in a mapping. It does this
via munmap. However, it's possible the runtime can create a new mapping
that ends up in that hole, for example if the GC executes, causing the
test to fail.
In fact, this is the case now with a smaller minimum heap size.
Modify the test to use mprotect, and clean up the code a little while
we're here: define everything in terms of the length of original
mapping, deduplicate some constants and expressions, and have the test
recover properly even if recover() returns nil (right now it panics
because it fails to type assert nil as error).
Fixes#49381.

recover4 allocates 16 pages of memory via mmap, makes a 4 page hole in it with
munmap, allocates another 16 pages of memory via normal allocation and then
tries to copy from one to the other. For some reason on arm64 (but no other
platform I have tested) the second allocation sometimes causes the runtime to
ask the kernel for 4 additional pages of memory -- which the kernel satisfies
by remapping the pages that were just unmapped!
Moving the second allocation before the munmap fixes this behaviour, I can run
recover4 tens of thousands of times without failure with this fix vs a failure
rate of ~0.5% before.
Fixes#12549

Updates #10180
Temporarily disable this test on ppc64 systems as all our builders use 64k page size.
We need a portable way to get the page size of the host so we can correctly size the mmap hole.

It works today and I want to make sure it stays working.
