EE: the D-cache store-tag lookup dropped the top three bits of the tag

DXSTG takes a guest physical page from TagLo and has to turn it into the
host pointer our tags carry. It did that by routing the page through its
KSEG0 alias, which meant masking the tag to 29 bits first -- and KSEG0 is
only 512 MB wide, so the mask was not a formality. Every physical page at
or above 0x20000000 folded into the low half of the map and resolved to
whatever happened to live at the folded address.

The consequence that matters is that a page past the end of the physical
map folded onto real memory: 0x60129000 resolved to 0x00129000, and the
eviction wrote 64 bytes of cache line into guest RAM the tag never named.

Use vtlb_GetPhyPtr instead, which is what the debugger and PSM already use
to ask this question. It covers the whole 1 GB physical map and answers
null both for a handler page and for an address off the end of the map, so
the unbacked case is now decided by the same lookup that produces the
pointer rather than by a truncation.

Where a tag naming one of our main-RAM mirrors resolves changes as a side
effect of that, and is deliberately left unpinned. Those mirrors are our
physical map's, not a console's: an SCPH-30001 has no RAM at those physical
addresses, and an eviction steered at one reached nothing at all. There is
no hardware answer to hold us to, so nothing asserts one.
