Clemens Backes e44c745d0f Reland "[base] Add new API to protect data memory"
This is a reland of commit 9d36b2dd0d.
The test case is fixed to actually protect a part of the data section
instead of the stack (which was unintended and could lead to segfaults).

Original change's description:
> [base] Add new API to protect data memory
>
> This adds a new {base::OS::SetDataReadOnly} method, which is similar to
> {SetPermissions(kRead)}, but using another system call on Windows such
> that it works on pages in the data segment.
> {VirtualAlloc} will fail if called on a page of the data section,
> whereas {VirtualProtect} succeeds. For the general {SetPermissions}
> API we still want to use {VirtualAlloc} though, as it also changes the "committed" state of the pages.
>
> Note that we do not add a platform API for this, as the memory was
> never allocated through the platform. We just directly protect it in
> V8.
