Ensure _id2ref finds symbols with the correct type
Prior to this commit it was possible to call `ObjectSpace._id2ref` with
an offset static symbol object_id and get back a new, incorrectly tagged
symbol:
```
> sensible_sym = ObjectSpace._id2ref(:a.object_id)
=> :a
> nonsense_sym = ObjectSpace._id2ref(:a.object_id + 40)
=> :a
> sensible_sym == nonsense_sym
=> false
```
`nonsense_sym` ends up tagged with `RUBY_ID_INSTANCE` instead of
`RB_ID_LOCAL`. That means we can do silly things like:
```
> foo = Object.new
> foo.instance_variable_set(:a, 123)
(irb):2:in `instance_variable_set': `a' is not allowed as an instance variable name (NameError)
> foo.instance_variable_set(ObjectSpace._id2ref(:a.object_id + 40), 123)
=> 123
> foo.instance_variables
=> [:a]
```
This was happening because `get_id_entry` ignores the tag bits when
looking up the symbol. So `rb_id2str(symid)` would return a value and
then we'd continue on with the nonsense `symid`.
This commit prevents the situation by checking that the `symid` actually
matches what we get back from `get_id_entry`. Now we get a `RangeError`
for the nonsense id:
```
> ObjectSpace._id2ref(:a.object_id)
=> :a
> ObjectSpace._id2ref(:a.object_id + 40)
(irb):1:in `_id2ref': 0x000000000013f408 is not symbol id value (RangeError)
```
