As I said in rust-lang/wg-allocators#97, the fact that calls to grow, grow_zeroed, and shrink may request altered alignments is surprising and may be a pitfall for implementors of Allocator if it's left implicit. This pull request adds a note to the "Safety" section of each function's docs making it explicit.

add notes about alignment-altering reallocations to Allocator docs

As I said in rust-lang/wg-allocators#97, the fact that calls to `grow`, `grow_zeroed`, and `shrink` may request altered alignments is surprising and may be a pitfall for implementors of `Allocator` if it's left implicit. This pull request adds a note to the "Safety" section of each function's docs making it explicit.
