We want to eventually stick request_alignment alongside other BlockLimits, but first, we must ensure it is populated at the same time as all other limits, rather than being a special case that is set only when a block is first opened.
Now that all drivers have been updated to supply an override of request_alignment during their .bdrv_refresh_limits(), as needed, the block layer itself can defer setting the default alignment until part of the overall bdrv_refresh_limits().
