Provide helper functions to manipulate allocation and pointer tags for
kernel addresses.

Low-level helper functions (mte_assign_*, written in assembly) operate
tag values from the [0x0, 0xF] range. High-level helper functions
(mte_get/set_*) use the [0xF0, 0xFF] range to preserve compatibility
with normal kernel pointers that have 0xFF in their top byte.

MTE_GRANULE_SIZE and related definitions are moved to mte-def.h header
that doesn't have any dependencies and is safe to include into any
low-level header.
