For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.
This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.

ignored. There was a test to catch this, but it was just blindly updated in
a large change. This fixes another part of <rdar://problem/9275290>.

alignment of globals to the preferred alignment, but only when
there is no section specified on the global (by far the common
case).

alignment of globals with a specified alignment, we fix
common variables to obey their alignment. Add a comment
explaining why this behavior is important.
