mem-cache: Protect tag from being mishandled

Make the tag variable private, so that every access to it must pass
through a getter and a setter. This protects it from being incorrectly
updated when there is no direct match between a tag and a data entry,
as is the case of sector, compressed, decoupled, and many other table
layouts.

As a side effect, a block matching function has been created, which
also depends directly on the mapping between tag and data entries.
