MdePkg/Base.h: Introduce various alignment-related macros
ALIGNOF: Determining the alignment requirement of data types is crucial to ensure safe memory accesses when parsing untrusted data. IS_POW2: Determining whether a value is a power of two is important to verify whether untrusted values are valid alignment values. IS_ALIGNED: In combination with ALIGNOF data offsets can be verified. A more general version of the IS_ALIGNED macro previously defined by several modules. ADDRESS_IS_ALIGNED: Variant of IS_ALIGNED for pointers and addresses. Replaces module-specific definitions throughout the code base. ALIGN_VALUE_ADDEND: The addend to align up can be used to directly determine the required offset for data alignment.
