Gather all the VMA flags whose presence implies that page tables must be copied on fork into a single bitmap - VM_COPY_ON_FORK - and use this rather than specifying individual flags in vma_needs_copy(). We also add VM_MAYBE_GUARD to this list, as it being set on a VMA implies that there may be metadata contained in the page tables (that is - guard markers) which would will not and cannot be propagated upon fork. This was already being done manually previously in vma_needs_copy(), but this makes it very explicit, alongside VM_PFNMAP, VM_MIXEDMAP and VM_UFFD_WP all of which imply the same. Note that VM_STICKY flags ought generally to be marked VM_COPY_ON_FORK too - because equally a flag being VM_STICKY indicates that the VMA contains metadat that is not propagated by being faulted in - i.e. that the VMA metadata does not fully describe the VMA alone, and thus we must propagate whatever metadata there is on a fork. However, for maximum flexibility, we do not make this necessarily the case here.
