malloc: Use global flag instead of function pointer dispatch for mtag
A flag check can be faster than function pointers because of how
branch prediction and speculation works and it can also remove a layer
of indirection when there is a mismatch between the malloc internal
tag_* api and __libc_mtag_* target hooks.

Memory tagging wrapper functions are moved to malloc.c from arena.c and
the logic now checks mmap_enabled.  The definition of tag_new_usable is
moved after chunk related definitions.

This refactoring also allows using mtag_enabled checks instead of
USE_MTAG ifdefs when memory tagging support only changes code logic
when memory tagging is enabled at runtime. Note: an "if (false)" code
block is optimized away even at -O0 by gcc.
