getTypeAllocSize() currently works by taking the type store size and aligning it to the ABI alignment. However, this ends up doing redundant work in various cases, for example arrays will unnecessarily repeat the alignment step, and structs will fetch the StructLayout multiple times.

As this code is rather hot (it is called every time we need to calculate GEP offsets for example), specialize the implementation. This repeats a small amount of logic from getAlignment(), but I think that's worthwhile.
