Cap "voluntary" vector alignment at 16 for all Darwin platforms.

This fixes two major problems:
- We were not capping vector alignment as desired on 32-bit ARM.
- We were using different alignments based on the AVX settings on
  Intel, so we did not have a consistent ABI.

This is an ABI break, but we think we can get away with it because
vectors tend to be used mostly in inline code (which is why not having
a consistent ABI has not proven disastrous on Intel).

Intel's AVX types are specified as having 32-byte / 64-byte alignment,
so align them explicitly instead of relying on the base ABI rule.
Note that this sort of attribute is stripped from template arguments
in template substitution, so there's a possibility that code templated
over vectors will produce inadequately-aligned objects.  The right
long-term solution for this is for alignment attributes to be
interpreted as true qualifiers and thus preserved in the canonical type.
