Emit correct alignment information for loads/store of small aggregates

Loading from and storing to small aggregates happens by casting the
aggregate pointer to an appropriately sized integer pointer to avoid
the usage of first class aggregates which would lead to less optimized
code.

But this means that, for example, a tuple of type (i16, i16) will be
loading through an i32 pointer and because we currently don't provide
alignment information LLVM assumes that the load should use the ABI
alignment for i32 which would usually be 4 byte alignment. But the
alignment requirement for the (i16, i16) tuple will usually be just 2
bytes, so we're overestimating alignment, which invokes undefined
behaviour.

Therefore we must emit appropriate alignment information for
stores/loads through such casted pointers.

Fixes #23431
