…seMadvise path

Pull Request resolved: #19554

In the MmapDataLoader UseMadvise codepath, after the existing
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED | MADV_SEQUENTIAL) calls, also issue fcntl(F_RDADVISE)
on Apple platforms (iOS/macOS). F_RDADVISE is more aggressive than madvise
for cold starts: it schedules read-ahead on the file descriptor itself,
bringing pages into the unified buffer cache so first-touch faults during
inference are serviced from RAM instead of storage.

F_RDADVISE closes part of the gap between lazy mmap and eager file read,
while still allowing pages to be evicted under memory pressure (unlike
mlock, which pins pages and counts against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK).
