Optimize alignment calculations in tuple form/deform
Here we convert CompactAttribute.attalign from a char, which is directly
derived from pg_attribute.attalign into a uint8, which stores the number
of bytes to align the column's value by in the tuple.
This allows tuple deformation and tuple size calculations to move away
from using the inefficient att_align_nominal() macro, which manually
checks each TYPALIGN_* char to translate that into the alignment bytes
for the given type. Effectively, this commit changes those to TYPEALIGN
calls, which are branchless and only perform some simple arithmetic with
some bit-twiddling.
The removed branches were often mispredicted by CPUs, especially so in
real-world tables which often contain a mishmash of different types
with different alignment requirements.
