Avoid AO_stack_t to cross CPU cache line boundary

(a cherry-pick of commit ed712f7 from 'release-7_6')

Issue bdwgc#45 (libatomic_ops).

Enforce proper alignment of AO_stack_t.AO_ptr to avoid the structure
value to cross the CPU cache line boundary.  A workaround for
almost-lock-free push/pop test failures on aarch64, at least.

* src/atomic_ops_stack.h [AO_USE_ALMOST_LOCK_FREE
&& !AO_STACK_ATTR_ALLIGNED] (AO_STACK_ATTR_ALLIGNED): Define.
* src/atomic_ops_stack.h [AO_USE_ALMOST_LOCK_FREE]
(AO_stack_t.AO_ptr): Add AO_STACK_ATTR_ALLIGNED attribute.
