[PATCH v2] fixup! common: introduce bthreads, co-operative barebox threads

Specifying __aligned for a struct member only ensures a relative
alignment to the start of the struct. Correct the alignment
by making the stack a separate memalign allocation.

This fixes an issue where printf("%llu" printed bogus values when
run from a bthread, because gcc va_arg on RISC-V requires 16-bit
stack alignment.
