Log:
MC: Support aligned COMMON symbols for COFF
link.exe:
Fuzz testing has shown that COMMON symbols with size > 32 will always
have an alignment of at least 32 and all symbols with size < 32 will
have an alignment of at least the largest power of 2 less than the size
of the symbol.
binutils:
The BFD linker essentially work like the link.exe behavior but with
alignment 4 instead of 32. The BFD linker also supports an extension to
COFF which adds an -aligncomm argument to the .drectve section which
permits specifying a precise alignment for a variable but MC currently
doesn't support editing .drectve in this way.
With all of this in mind, we decide to play a little trick: we can
ensure that the alignment will be respected by bumping the size of the
global to it's alignment.
