memory: back the free pages of a partially-overlapping fixed mapping (#458)

A SCE_KERNEL_MAP_FIXED request whose window partially overlaps an
existing allocation was failing outright: AllocateAt reserves the whole
range in one all-or-nothing VirtualAlloc, which returns 0 on partial
overlap. The mapping call then returned NOT_FOUND while leaving the free
tail unmapped, so the guest faulted (0xC0000005) writing into it.

Add IGuestAddressSpace.TryBackFixedRange, which walks the range via the
host Query (VirtualQuery reports contiguous same-state runs) and fills
only the free sub-ranges, leaving already-backed pages untouched. This
matches the fixed-mapping contract on hardware. Route the fixed
reservation path through it via a new backPartialOverlap flag.
