build: Only use mmap in parser if explicitly requested
The current mmap code is not reliable, as it does not handle SIGBUS,
which can happen on I/O errors (among others). Switch the code to
check for USE_MMAP instead of HAVE_MMAP so that it can be explicitly
enabled on build, to produce consistent results by making sure it does
not get reactivated accidentally. Disable it by default due to the
above, in addition to not having been used by released tarballs since
1.14.15.
