USE_LSB_TAG and Solaris 10

[Paul Eggert]

Stefan suggested that I look into why USE_LSB_TAG wasn't used
with Sun cc, or on Solaris 10.

It turns out that Sun cc now supports __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (E)))
a la GCC.  Also, Solaris 10 malloc (which GCC uses) aligns to 8.
So I installed this performance improvement into the trunk.
