__attibute__((__aligned__)) for RSTRING_PTR()

For instance array.c:rb_ary_product() uses RSTRING_PTR() as an
array of int. So to avoid misaligned memory access RSTRING_PTR()
must at least be sizeof(int)-aligned.  However the type of
RSTRING_PTR() is char*, which of course can expect alignment as
much as 1.  This is a problem.

The reality is, there is no misaligned memory access because the
memory region behind RSTRING_PTR() is allocated using malloc().
Memory regions returned from malloc() are always aligned
appropriately.  So let's tell the compiler about this information.
It seems GCC, clang, and MSVC have such feature.
