lib/bootmem: Add memory type for Armv9 MTE tag storage

Browse source 
The Armv9-A architecture introduces the Memory Tagging Extension (MTE),
which uses a dedicated memory region for tag storage.

This patch adds a new memory type, BM_MEM_TAG, to allow for the proper
accounting and reservation of this memory region. This ensures that the
payload, e.g. depthcharge, can correctly identify and utilize the tag
storage area.
