arch: Introduce CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT



Generic function-alignment infrastructure.

Architectures can select FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT_xxB symbols; the
FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT symbol is then set to the largest such selected
size, 0 otherwise.

From this the -falign-functions compiler argument and __ALIGN macro
are set.

This incorporates the DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B knob and future
alignment requirements for x86_64 (later in this series) into a single
place.

NOTE: also removes the 0x90 filler byte from the generic __ALIGN
      primitive, that value makes no sense outside of x86.

NOTE: .balign 0 reverts to a no-op.
