Fix minimum alignment for StgClosure (Trac #11395)
The bug is observed on m68k-linux target as crash
in RTS:
-- a.hs:
main = print 43
$ inplace/bin/ghc-stage1 --make -debug a.hs
$ ./a
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

GHC assumes last 2 pointer bits are tags on 32-bit targets.
But here 'stg_dummy_ret_closure' address violates the assumption:
LOOKS_LIKE_CLOSURE_PTR (p=0x805aac6e )
I've added compiler hint for static StgClosure objects to
align closures at least by their natural alignment (what GHC assumes).
See Note [StgWord alignment].

Test Plan: ran basic test on m68k qemu, it got past ASSERTs
