Provide multi-block smgrprefetch().
Previously smgrprefetch() could issue POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED advice for a
single block at a time. Add an nblocks argument so that we can do the
same for a range of blocks. This usually produces a single system call,
but might need to loop if it crosses a segment boundary. Initially it
is only called with nblocks == 1, but proposed patches will make wider
calls.
