Summary:
This patch uses the actual allocator interface to implement
`aligned_alloc`. We do this by simply rounding up the amount allocated.
Because of how index calculation works, any offset within an allocated
pointer will still map to the same chunk, so we can just adjust
internally and it will free all the same.
