elf: dl-minimal malloc needs to respect fundamental alignment

The dynamic linker currently uses __libc_memalign for TLS-related
allocations.  The goal is to switch to malloc instead.  If the minimal
malloc follows the ABI fundamental alignment, we can assume that malloc
provides this alignment, and thus skip explicit alignment in a few
cases as an optimization.

It was requested on libc-alpha that MALLOC_ALIGNMENT should be used,
although this results in wasted space if MALLOC_ALIGNMENT is larger
than the fundamental alignment.  (The dynamic linker cannot assume
that the non-minimal malloc will provide an alignment of
MALLOC_ALIGNMENT; the ABI provides _Alignof (max_align_t) only.)

-  INTERNAL_SIZE_T is the word-size used for internal bookkeeping
-  of chunk sizes.

-  The default version is the same as size_t.
-
-  While not strictly necessary, it is best to define this as an
-  unsigned type, even if size_t is a signed type. This may avoid some
-  artificial size limitations on some systems.
-
-  On a 64-bit machine, you may be able to reduce malloc overhead by
-  defining INTERNAL_SIZE_T to be a 32 bit `unsigned int' at the
-  expense of not being able to handle more than 2^32 of malloced
-  space. If this limitation is acceptable, you are encouraged to set
-  this unless you are on a platform requiring 16byte alignments. In
-  this case the alignment requirements turn out to negate any
-  potential advantages of decreasing size_t word size.
-
-  Implementors: Beware of the possible combinations of:
-     - INTERNAL_SIZE_T might be signed or unsigned, might be 32 or 64 bits,
-       and might be the same width as int or as long
-     - size_t might have different width and signedness as INTERNAL_SIZE_T
-     - int and long might be 32 or 64 bits, and might be the same width
-  To deal with this, most comparisons and difference computations
-  among INTERNAL_SIZE_Ts should cast them to unsigned long, being
-  aware of the fact that casting an unsigned int to a wider long does
-  not sign-extend. (This also makes checking for negative numbers
-  awkward.) Some of these casts result in harmless compiler warnings
-  on some systems.
