Christopher Haster d7e4abad0b Edited tag structure to balance size vs id count ...

This is a minor tweak that resulted from looking at some other use cases
for the littlefs data-structure on disk. Consider an implementation that
does not need to buffer inline-files in RAM. In this case we should have
as large a tag size field as possible. Unfortunately, we don't have much
space to work with in the 32-bit tag struct, so we have to make some
compromises. These limitations could be removed with a 64-bit tag
struct, at the cost of code size.

32-bit tag structure:
[---       32       ---]
[1|- 9 -|- 9 -|-- 13 --]
 ^   ^     ^      ^- entry length
 |   |     \-------- file id
 |   \-------------- tag type
 \------------------ valid bit
