utils: Add malloc/free wrappers returning aligned data

While we could use posix_memalign(3), that is not fully portable. Further, it
might be difficult on some platforms to properly catch it in leak-detective,
which results in invalid free()s when releasing such memory.

We instead use a simple wrapper, which allocates larger data, and saves the
padding size in the allocated header. This requires that memory is released
using a dedicated function.

To reduce the risk of invalid free() when working on corrupted data, we fill up
all the padding with the padding length, and verify it during free_align().
