The old code ignored the field alignment, and only looked at the field
offset: if the field offset required padding, cgo added padding. But
while that approach works for Go (at least with the gc toolchain) it
doesn't work for C code using packed structs. With a packed struct the
added padding may leave the struct at a misaligned position, and the
inserted alignment, which cgo is not considering, may introduce
additional, unexpected, padding. Padding that ignores alignment is not
a good idea when the struct is not packed, and Go structs are never
packed. So don't ignore alignment.
