Fix aborts due to GC losing pseudovectors

Problem reported by Eli Zaretskii (Bug#41321).
* src/alloc.c (MALLOC_ALIGNMENT_BOUND): New constant.
(LISP_ALIGNMENT): Lower it to avoid crashes on MinGW and similarly
buggy platforms where malloc returns pointers not aligned to
alignof (max_align_t).  But keep it higher on platforms where this
is known to work, as it helps GC performance.
(MALLOC_IS_LISP_ALIGNED): Define in terms of the other two.
* src/alloc.c (stacktop_sentry):
* src/thread.c (run_thread):
Don’t overalign or oversize stack sentries; they need to be
aligned only for pointers and Lisp_Object, not for arbitrary
pseudovector contents.
* src/lisp.h (union emacs_align_type): New type, used for
LISP_ALIGNMENT.
