runtime: align allocations harder in GODEBUG=sbrk=1 mode
Currently, GODEBUG=sbrk=1 mode aligns allocations by their type's alignment. You would think this would be the right thing to do, but because 64-bit fields are only 4-byte aligned right now (see #599), this can cause a 64-bit field of an allocated object to be 4-byte aligned, but not 8-byte aligned. If there is an atomic access to that unaligned 64-bit field, it will crash. This doesn't happen in normal allocation mode because the size-segregated allocation and the current size classes will cause any types larger than 8 bytes to be 8 byte aligned. We fix this by making sbrk=1 mode use alignment based on the type's size rather than its declared alignment. This matches how the tiny allocator aligns allocations. This was tested with GOARCH=386 GODEBUG=sbrk=1 go test sync/atomic This crashes with an unaligned access before this change, and passes with this change. This should be reverted when/if we fix #599. Fixes #33159.
