cache: add __cacheline_group_{begin, end}_aligned() (+ couple more)

Browse Source 
__cacheline_group_begin(), unfortunately, doesn't align the group
anyhow. If it is wanted, then you need to do something like

__cacheline_group_begin(grp) __aligned(ALIGN)

which isn't really convenient nor compact.
Add the _aligned() counterparts to align the groups automatically to
either the specified alignment (optional) or ``SMP_CACHE_BYTES``.
Note that the actual struct layout will then be (on x64 with 64-byte CL):

struct x {
	u32 y;				// offset 0, size 4, padding 56
	__cacheline_group_begin__grp;	// offset 64, size 0
	u32 z;				// offset 64, size 4, padding 4
	__cacheline_group_end__grp;	// offset 72, size 0
	__cacheline_group_pad__grp;	// offset 72, size 0, padding 56
	u32 w;				// offset 128
};

The end marker is aligned to long, so that you can assert the struct
size more strictly, but the offset of the next field in the structure
will be aligned to the group alignment, so that the next field won't
fall into the group it's not intended to.

Add __LARGEST_ALIGN definition and LARGEST_ALIGN() macro.
__LARGEST_ALIGN is the value to which the compilers align fields when
__aligned_largest is specified. Sometimes, it might be needed to get
this value outside of variable definitions. LARGEST_ALIGN() is macro
which just aligns a value to __LARGEST_ALIGN.
Also add SMP_CACHE_ALIGN(), similar to L1_CACHE_ALIGN(), but using
``SMP_CACHE_BYTES`` instead of ``L1_CACHE_BYTES`` as the former
also accounts L2, needed in some cases.
