Rollup merge of rust-lang#49122 - scottmcm:z-align-attr, r=cramertj

Add a -Z flag for LLVM align attributes on arguments

LLVM seems to still put the assume calls in when inlining, so this probably isn't in a place where it can be turned on by default, but it's interesting to experiment with.

For example, this makes `mem::swap::<u64x8>` be 8x `vmovaps	ymm` instead of 16x `vmovups	xmm`, on my cpu.
