1. I'm still sad there are no allocAligned() functions or something of

there is sufficient support for requesting alignment with allocations.
The set-able alignment property approach seems a little weird (and only
seemed to be supported on one allocator?). I guess experience will tell
if this is sufficient and/or convenient.
I'd still like to see an allocWithAlignment() method or something, which
may be implemented efficiently by allocators that can support it.

I've made alignedAllocate() and alignedReallocate() parts of the
official API, added alignedAlloc to all regions, added AlignedMallocator
which taps into the aligned system APIs, and eliminated all that dynamic
alignment setting stuff. I think we're in better shape now. Thanks for
the suggestion!
I still need to:
1. add stats for aligned calls to AllocatorWithStats
2. define HeapBlock.alignedXxx (which should be interesting)
3. separate IOwns, IAlignedAllocate, IDeallocate from CAllocator and
have CAllocatorImpl!alloc conditionally implement them depending on
whether alloc implements the respective primitives.
