Add the posix_memalign(3) function to bionic

The posix_memalign(3) function is very similar to the traditional
memalign(3) function, but with better error reporting and a guarantee
that the memory it allocates can be freed.  In bionic, memalign(3)
allocated memory can be freed, so posix_memalign(3) is just a wrapper
around memalign(3).

int posix_memalign(void **memptr, size_t alignment, size_t size);
Places a pointer to a newly allocated chunk of size bytes, aligned
in accord with the alignment argument, in *memptr.
The return value is 0 on success, and ENOMEM on failure.
The alignment argument should be a power of two. If the argument is
not a power of two, the nearest greater power is used.
8-byte alignment is guaranteed by normal malloc calls, so don't
bother calling memalign with an argument of 8 or less.
Overreliance on posix_memalign is a sure way to fragment space.
