type_with_alignment was generating huge types on most platforms, because it
would take every type with the right alignment into a union. On x86, for
instance, double and int have the same alignment (4), so
sizeof(type_with_alignment<4>::type)=12! type_with_alignment now takes the
first type whose alignment matches, and the types are roughly ordered by
size, so the resulting type size should be smaller.
