Avoid unconditional instance-ID allocation.

When return_instance_id=False, both functions still allocate and populate a full-size int32 mask. Existing callers now pay extra memory and write costs without receiving the optional output. Allocate and update instance_ids only when the flag is enabled.

Also applies to: 156-156

minimal, and validate.

In `@monai/data/synthetic.py` at line 69, Update both functions containing the
instance_ids initialization so the full-size mask is allocated and populated
only when return_instance_id is enabled. Preserve the existing instance-ID
output when the flag is true, and avoid all related allocation and writes when
it is false.
