    When `AlignConsecutiveDeclarations` is true, the way `ReferenceAlignment` works changes depending on `PointerAlignment`:

```bash
$ echo "struct Test {  ShortType&          v1;  SomeLongerType&     v2;   MuchMuchLongerType& v3;};" | clang-format-13 --style "{AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: true, PointerAlignment: Right, ReferenceAlignment: Left}"

struct Test {
  ShortType         & v1;
  SomeLongerType    & v2;
  MuchMuchLongerType& v3;
};
$ echo "struct Test {  ShortType&          v1;  SomeLongerType&     v2;   MuchMuchLongerType& v3;};" | clang-format-13 --style "{AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: true, PointerAlignment: Left, ReferenceAlignment: Left}"
struct Test {
  ShortType&          v1;
  SomeLongerType&     v2;
  MuchMuchLongerType& v3;
};
$ echo "struct Test {  ShortType&          v1;  SomeLongerType&     v2;   MuchMuchLongerType& v3;};" | clang-format-13 --style "{AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: true, PointerAlignment: Left, ReferenceAlignment: Right}"
struct Test {
  ShortType &         v1;
  SomeLongerType &    v2;
  MuchMuchLongerType &v3;
};
$ echo "struct Test {  ShortType&          v1;  SomeLongerType&     v2;   MuchMuchLongerType& v3;};" | clang-format-13 --style "{AlignConsecutiveDeclarations: true, PointerAlignment: Right, ReferenceAlignment: Right}"
struct Test {
  ShortType          &v1;
  SomeLongerType     &v2;
  MuchMuchLongerType &v3;
};
```

In other words, when the alignments for pointer and reference are different, we get some "hybrid"of left and right, with spaces to the left or to the right of the `&`.

Is this expected behavior? Or a bug? I would expect that the reference alignment should be independent of pointer alignment...
