amd64 string ops: use alignment more carefully, and comment it.
By capping max padding to not be bigger than three next insns,
we avoid having ridiculously big NOPs like this one:
53:66 66 66 66 2e 0f 1f nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
5a:84 00 00 00 00 00
which was bigger than next three insns combined!
Size changes:

Also, a few files got their .text alignment relaxed from 16 to 8 bytes,
which reduces padding at link time.
