cheri: malloc: fix alignment logic in obstack

If sizeof(ptrdiff_t) < sizeof(void*) the alignment logic was wrong
(incorrectly assumed that base was already sufficiently aligned).

Use more robust alignment logic: this one should work on any target.
Note: this is an installed header so it must be namespace clean and
portable.
