[clangd] Don't mmap source files on all platforms --> don't crash on git checkout

Summary:
Previously we mmapped on unix and not on windows: on windows mmap takes
an exclusive lock on the file and prevents the user saving changes!

The failure mode on linux is a bit more subtle: if the file is changed on disk
but the SourceManager sticks around, then subsequent operations on the
SourceManager will fail as invariants are violated (e.g. null-termination).

This commonly manifests as crashes after switching git branches with many files
open in clangd.

Nominally mmap is for performance here, and we should be willing to give some
up to stop crashing. Measurements on my system (linux+desktop+SSD) at least
show no measurable regression on an a fairly IO-heavy workload: drop disk caches,
open SemaOverload.cpp, wait for first diagnostics.
