[lld][WebAssembly] Align __heap_base
__heap_base was not aligned. In practice, it will often be aligned
simply because it follows the stack, but when the stack is placed at the
beginning (with the --stack-first option), the __heap_base might be
unaligned. It could even be byte-aligned.

At least wasi-libc appears to expect that __heap_base is aligned:
659ff41456/dlmalloc/src/malloc.c (L5224)

While WebAssembly itself does not appear to require any alignment for
memory accesses, it is sometimes required when sharing a pointer
externally. For example, WASI might expect alignment up to 8:

This issue got introduced with the addition of the --stack-first flag:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D46141
I suspect the lack of alignment wasn't intentional here.
