    libiberty: Account for CHERI alignment requirement in objalloc
    
    The calculation of OBJALLOC_ALIGN in include/objalloc.h ensures that
    allocations are sufficiently aligned for doubles, but on CHERI
    architectures it is possible that void * has a greater alignment
    requirement than double.
    
    Instead of deriving the alignment requirement from double alone, this
    patch uses a union to compute the maximum alignment between double and
    void *.
    
    This fixes alignment faults seen when compiling the binutils for
    pure-capability Morello. With this patch applied, the majority of
    binutils tests pass when the binutils themselves are compiled for
    purecap.
    
    We are upstreaming this patch to GCC first since GCC is the canonical
    upstream for libiberty, but the patch is currently motivated mainly by
    binutils.
