Subject: [PATCH v4 7/9] tools/testing/vma: add VMA sticky userland tests

Modify existing merge new/existing userland VMA tests to assert that
sticky VMA flags behave as expected.

We do so by generating every possible permutation of VMAs being
manipulated being sticky/not sticky and asserting that VMA flags with this
property retain are retained upon merge.
