    url: fix alignment of ssl_backend_data struct
    
    - Align the array of ssl_backend_data on a max 32 byte boundary.
    
    8 is likely to be ok but I went with 32 for posterity should one of
    the ssl_backend_data structs change to contain a larger sized variable
    in the future.
    
    Prior to this change (since dev 70f1db3, release 7.56) the connectdata
    structure was undersized by 4 bytes in 32-bit builds with ssl enabled
    because long long * was mistakenly used for alignment instead of
    long long, with the intention being an 8 byte boundary. Also long long
    may not be an available type.
    
    The undersized connectdata could lead to oob read/write past the end in
    what was expected to be the last 4 bytes of the connection's secondary
    socket https proxy ssl_backend_data struct (the secondary socket in a
    connection is used by ftp, others?).
    
    Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/2093
    
    CVE-2017-8818
