rust: alloc: specify the minimum alignment of each allocator
The kernel's allocators sometimes provide a higher alignment than the
end-user requested, so add a new constant on the Allocator trait to let
the allocator specify what its minimum guaranteed alignment is.
This allows the ForeignOwnable trait to provide a more accurate value of
FOREIGN_ALIGN when using a pointer type such as Box, which will be
useful with certain collections such as XArray that store its own data
in the low bits of pointers.
