Removed duplicate lines (see lines 19-20).  I was in here to roll NTDDI_VERSION back to Vista, but it was already Vista.  The notes explain how this "worked".

> Is alignment to 16 necessary?  I think that's only if you use CopyContext() and InitializeContext().  If you're not using any of the AVX stuff, I don't think it has special alignment requirements.  We might be able to get rid of this whole function, and all the cruft associated with the heap buffer, and just store the CONTEXT directly in the class.  Note that CONTEXT in WinNT.h is declared with DECLSPEC_ALIGN(8), so I think everything is already taken care of.
One definition of CONTEXT in winnt.h is tagged with __declspec(align(16)), so I assumed it was.  Another is tagged 8, and one is untagged.  The heap allocation seemed to be returning blocks aligned only to 4-byte boundaries (not even 8!?).

Do you know how to tell definitively which CONTEXT applies?

Cool.  I've switched to llvm::alignAddr.

But I'll remove this altogether if the alignment isn't needed.
