Phase E1-CORRECT: Fix USER/BASE pointer conversion bugs in slab_index_for calls

CRITICAL BUG FIX: Phase E1 introduced 1-byte headers for ALL size classes (C0-C7),
changing the pointer contract. However, many locations still called slab_index_for()
with USER pointers (storage+1) instead of BASE pointers (storage), causing off-by-one
slab index calculations that corrupted memory.

Root Cause:
- USER pointer = BASE + 1 (returned by malloc, points past header)
- BASE pointer = storage start (where 1-byte header is written)
- slab_index_for() expects BASE pointer for correct slab boundary calculations
- Passing USER pointer → wrong slab_idx → wrong metadata → freelist corruption

Impact Before Fix:
- bench_random_mixed crashes at ~14K iterations with SEGV
- Massive C7 alignment check failures (wrong slab classification)
- Memory corruption from writing to wrong slab freelists

Fixes Applied (8 locations):

1. core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc:137
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for()

2. core/hakmem_tiny_ultra_simple.inc:148
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for()

3. core/tiny_free_fast.inc.h:220
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for()

4-5. core/tiny_free_magazine.inc.h:126,315
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for() (2 locations)

6. core/box/free_local_box.c:14,22,62
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for()
   - Fixed delta calculation to use BASE instead of USER
   - Fixed debug logging to use BASE instead of USER

7. core/hakmem_tiny.c:448,460,473 (tiny_debug_track_alloc_ret)
   - Added USER→BASE conversion before slab_index_for() (2 calls)
   - Fixed delta calculation to use BASE instead of USER
   - This function is called on EVERY allocation in debug builds

Results After Fix:
✅ bench_random_mixed stable up to 66K iterations (~4.7x improvement)
✅ C7 alignment check failures eliminated (was: 100% failure rate)
✅ Front Gate "Unknown" classification dropped to 0% (was: 1.67%)
✅ No segfaults for workloads up to ~33K allocations

Remaining Issue:
❌ Segfault still occurs at iteration 66152 (allocs=33137, frees=33014)
   - Different bug from USER/BASE conversion issues
   - Likely capacity/boundary condition (further investigation needed)

Testing:
- bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1K-66K iterations: PASS
- bench_random_mixed_hakmem 67K+ iterations: FAIL (different bug)
- bench_fixed_size_hakmem 200K iterations: PASS
