Motivation: Tiny library to be used for all common alignment related
chores found in a few Boost libraries. (e.g. we have some in
Boost.Smart_Ptr).

Provides:
1. Function boost::align, a pointer alignment function, for
implementations that do not yet provide std::align. (Uses std::align
if available)

2. Functions boost::aligned_alloc and boost::aligned_free, for aligned
allocation and deallocation.    (Use platform specific functions, such
_aligned_malloc or posix_memalign, or otherwise uses std::malloc with
the above boost::align)

3. Class template boost::aligned_allocator as a replacement for
std::allocator that respects over-aligned types. (Up to the extent the
implementation supports over-alignment)

Many thanks to Peter Dimov for his feedback on the design and
implementation of this library.

Notes: Small enough that it might satisfy the requirements for a
fast-track review.
