C11 alignas instead of unions -- extended alignments

This replaces some uses of pg_attribute_aligned() with the standard
alignas() for cases where extended alignment (larger than max_align_t)
is required.

This patch stipulates that all supported compilers must support
alignments up to PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, but that seems pretty likely.

We can then also desupport the case where direct I/O is disabled
because pg_attribute_aligned is not supported.
