try to avoid #[repr(packed)] when align is needed
Currently rustc forbids compound types from having both a `packed` and `align` attribute. When a source type has both attributes, this may mean it cannot be represented with the current rustc. Often, though, one or both of these attributes is redundant and can be safely removed from the generated Rust code. Previously, bindgen avoided placing the `align` attribute when it is not needed. However, it would always place the `packed` attribute if the source type has it, even when it is redundant because the source type is "naturally packed". With this change, bindgen avoids placing `packed` on a type if the `packed` is redundant and the type needs an `align` attribute. If the type does not have an "align" attribute, then bindgen will still place `packed` so as to avoid changing existing working behavior. This commit also takes out an extraneous `is_packed()` call from `StructLayoutTracker::new()` since the value can be passed in from the caller; this avoids duplicating work in some cases.
