gh-127545: Add _Py_ALIGNED_DEF(N, T) and use it for PyObject (GH-135209)

* Replace _Py_ALIGN_AS(V) by _Py_ALIGNED_DEF(N, T)

This is now a common façade for the various `_Alignas` alternatives,
which behave in interesting ways -- see the source comment.

The new macro (and MSVC's `__declspec(align)`) should not be used
on a variable/member declaration that includes a struct declaraton.
A workaround is to separate the struct definition.
Do that for `PyASCIIObject.state`.

* Specify minimum PyGC_Head and PyObject alignment

As documented in InternalDocs/garbage_collector.md, the garbage collector
stores flags in the least significant two bits of the _gc_prev pointer
in struct PyGC_Head. Consequently, this pointer is only capable of storing
a location that's aligned to a 4-byte boundary.

Encode this requirement using _Py_ALIGNED_DEF.

This patch fixes a segfault in m68k, which was previously investigated
