elf: Fix the arm64 MTE ELF segment name and value
Unfortunately, the name/value choice for the MTE ELF segment type (PT_ARM_MEMTAG_MTE) was pretty poor: LOPROC+1 is already in use by PT_AARCH64_UNWIND, as defined in the AArch64 ELF ABI (https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aaelf64/aaelf64.rst). Update the ELF segment type value to LOPROC+2 and also change the define to PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE to match the AArch64 ELF ABI namespace. The AArch64 ELF ABI document is updating accordingly (segment type not previously mentioned in the document).
