ralloc: Make sure ralloc() allocations match malloc()'s alignment.
The header of ralloc needs to be aligned, because the compiler assumes
that malloc returns will be aligned to 8/16 bytes depending on the
platform, leading to degraded performance or alignment faults with ralloc.
Fixes SIGBUS on Raspberry Pi at high optimization levels.
This patch is not perfect for MSVC, as maybe in the future the alignment
for the most demanding data type might change to more than 8.

ralloc: don't leave out the alignment factor
Experimentation shows that without alignment factor gcc and clang choose
a factor of 16 even on IA-32, which doesn't match what malloc() uses (8).
The problem is it makes gcc assume the pointer is 16 byte aligned, so
with -O3 it starts using aligned SSE instructions that later fault,
so always specify a suitable alignment factor.
