Mitigate `#[align]` name resolution ambiguity regression with a rename

From `#[align]` -> `#[rustc_align]`. Attributes starting with `rustc`
are always perma-unstable and feature-gated by `feature(rustc_attrs)`.

See regression RUST-143834.

For the underlying problem where even introducing new feature-gated
unstable built-in attributes can break user code such as

```rs
macro_rules! align {
    () => {
        /* .. */
    };
}

pub(crate) use align; // `use` here becomes ambiguous
```

refer to RUST-134963.

Since the `#[align]` attribute is still feature-gated by
`feature(fn_align)`, we can rename it as a mitigation. Note that
`#[rustc_align]` will obviously mean that current unstable user code
using `feature(fn_aling)` will need additionally `feature(rustc_attrs)`,
but this is a short-term mitigation to buy time, and is expected to be
changed to a better name with less collision potential.
