It is implementation-defined whether alignment requirements
that are larger than std::max_align_t (typically 8 or 16 bytes)
will be honored by the compiler and linker.

It turns out that on IBM AIX, both alignas() and MY_ALIGNED()
only guarantees alignment up to 16 bytes.

For some data structures, specifying alignment to the CPU
cache line size (typically 64 or 128 bytes) is a mere performance
optimization, and we do not really care whether the requested
alignment is guaranteed.

But, for the correct operation of direct I/O, we do require that
the buffers be aligned at a block size boundary.

field_ref_zero: Define as a pointer, not an array.
For innochecksum, we can make this point to unaligned memory;
for anything else, we will allocate an aligned buffer from the heap.
This buffer will be used for overwriting freed data pages when
innodb_immediate_scrub_data_uncompressed=ON. And exactly that code
hit an assertion failure on AIX, in the test innodb.innodb_scrub.

log_sys.checkpoint_buf: Define as a pointer to aligned memory
that is allocated from heap.

log_t::file::write_header_durable(): Reuse log_sys.checkpoint_buf
instead of trying to allocate an aligned buffer from the stack.
