On HP-UX 11, anonymous mmap is possible, through the MAP_ANONYMOUS flag.
But gl_FUNC_MMAP_ANON does not define HAVE_MAP_ANONYMOUS on this platform.
Why? Because HAVE_MMAP is not defined - a consequence of the strict test
in AC_FUNC_MMAP, combined with the missing support for MAP_FIXED in HP-UX.
(The AC_FUNC_MMAP test fails here:
if (data2 != mmap (data2, pagesize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, fd, 0L))
return 1;
)
This fixes the MAP_ANONYMOUS detection.

Make the MAP_ANONYMOUS detection work on HP-UX 11.
* m4/mmap-anon.m4 (gl_FUNC_MMAP_ANON): Check whether mmap exists, but
not whether its fully works.
