Bug #3433: vm_map: use normal COW inheritance for user-wired mappings

----------------------------------------
Forking an mlock()ed MAP_PRIVATE file mapping can panic with "vm_fault_copy_wired: page missing". The wired-copy path expects the page in the front object, but it may be in a backing object or have been removed after the file was truncated.

Use normal COW inheritance for normal mappings with only a user wire. The parent stays user-wired and the child remains unwired. The normal fault path resolves backing pages and handles pager errors. Keep eager copying for hard-wired and virtual-page-table mappings.
