runtime: test alignment of fields targeted by 64-bit atomics
Make sure that all the targets of 64-bit atomic operations
are actually aligned to 8 bytes. This has been a source of
bugs on 32-bit systems. (e.g. CL 399754)
The strategy is to have a simple test that just checks the
alignment of some explicitly listed fields and global variables.
Then there's a more complicated test that makes sure the list
used in the simple test is exhaustive. That test has some
limitations, but it should catch most cases, particularly new
uses of atomic operations on new or existing fields.
Unlike a runtime assert, this check is free and will catch
accesses that occur even in very unlikely code paths.
