perf: optimize memory tracking using a high-performance hash table
Implement a statically sized 8192-slot hash table with chaining to replace the O(N) linear linked-list memory tracking system in debug allocator wrappers. Optimize bucket lookup by shifting pointers by 3 bits to preserve entropy on 8-byte aligned systems. Introduce a comprehensive unit test suite `test_memory_tracking` to validate correct allocation, reallocation, and free behavior of the utility allocator wrappers. Clean up unused `old_ptr` variable causing warnings in test_util.c.
