symbol.c: implement LSB tagging for literal flags to save memory

Browse Source 
Replace separate symflags array with LSB pointer tagging to store
symbol literal flags directly in string pointers. This eliminates
the need for a separate symflags allocation, saving 1/8 of symbol
table memory overhead (282 bytes measured improvement).

Key changes:
- Add LSB tagging helper functions (symtbl_get_ptr, symtbl_is_literal,
  symtbl_tag_literal)
- Store literal flag in LSB of mrb->symtbl[i] pointers (LSB=1 for
  literals)
- Remove symflags field from mrb_sym_hash_table struct
- Update all symbol access functions to use proper pointer untagging
- Maintain mrb_ro_data_p() detection for platform compatibility
- Fix potential crashes by ensuring untagged pointers in memory
  operations

Works in both linear and hash table modes. All 1717 tests pass.
Memory usage reduced by 282 bytes compared to original implementation.
