Add a selftest for verifying the accuracy of DAMON's access monitoring functionality. The test starts a program of artificial access pattern, monitor the access pattern using DAMON, and check if DAMON finds expected amount of hot data region (working set size) with only acceptable error rate. Note that the acceptable error rate is set with only naive assumptions and small number of tests. Hence failures of the test may not always mean DAMON is broken. Rather than that, those could be a signal to better understand the real accuracy level of DAMON in wider environments. Based on further finding, we could optimize DAMON or adjust the expectation of the test.
