BUILD: makefile: add -Wno-atomic-alignment to work around clang abusive warning
As reported in github issue #1502, clang, when building for i386, will
try to use CMPXCHG8B-based loops for 64-bit atomic operations, and emits
warnings for all 64-bit operands that are not 64-bit aligned, an alignment
that is *not* required by the ABI, that the compiler itself does not
enforce, and that the intel SDM clearly says is not required on this
32-bit platform for this operation. But this is likely an excessive
outcome of the same code being used in 64-bit for CMPXCHG16B which does
require proper alignment. Firefox already gave up on this one 3 years
ago, let's not waste our time arguing and just shut up the warning
instead. It might hide some real bugs in the future but till now
experience showed that overall it's unlikely.
This should be backported to all maintained branches that use 64-bit
atomic ops (e.g. for counters).
Thanks to Brad Smith for reporting it and confirming that shutting the
warning addresses it.
