Perf optimization: Disable mincore syscall by default

Browse Source 
Problem: mincore() syscall in hak_free_api caused performance overhead.
Perf analysis showed mincore syscall overhead in hot path.

Solution: Change DISABLE_MINCORE default from 0 to 1 in Makefile.
This disables mincore() checks in core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h by default.

Benchmark results (10M iterations × 5 runs, ws=256):
- Before (mincore enabled):  64.61M ops/s (avg)
- After (mincore disabled): 71.30M ops/s (avg)
- Improvement: +10.3% (+6.69M ops/s)

This exceeds Task agent's prediction of +2-3%, showing significant
impact in real-world allocation patterns.

Note: Set DISABLE_MINCORE=0 to re-enable if debugging invalid pointers.
