[Bug tree-optimization/23449] vortex fails without -fno-strict-aliasing

The code in mem*.[ch] is much messier than I originally thought.  There are
lots of casts in assignments of pointer variables.  The macros in mem00.h
starting with Unit_Size, which are used in both lvalues and rvalues,
dereference through pointer casts.

I'm no longer planning to suggest a fix to SPEC.  The code in vortex violates
aliasing rules and any fix would not be portable C; we'll need to work around
it by compiling with -fno-strict-aliasing until someone comes up with a better
solution.

Closing this PR as INVALID.
