The SegmentMapping struct's tag field was 8-bit, limiting overlaybd to 255 stacked layers. This change extends the tag to 16-bit by borrowing 8 bits from moffset (55->47 bits), which still allows 64 PB per layer file - far exceeding practical needs.
Changes:
Note: This is a breaking change - layers created with this version are not compatible with older overlaybd versions.
