P3: Skip header write in alloc path when class_map is active

Browse Source 
Skip the 1-byte header write in tiny_region_id_write_header() when class_map
is active (default). class_map provides out-of-band class_idx lookup, making
the header byte unnecessary for the free path.

Changes:
- Add ENV-gated conditional to skip header write (default: skip)
- ENV: HAKMEM_TINY_WRITE_HEADER=1 to force header write (legacy mode)
- Memory layout preserved: user pointer = base + 1 (1B unused when skipped)

Performance improvement:
- tiny_hot 64B: 83.5M → 84.2M ops/sec (+0.8%)
- random_mixed ws=256: 68.1M → 72.2M ops/sec (+6%)

The header skip reduces one store instruction per allocation, which is
particularly beneficial for mixed-size workloads like random_mixed.
