osdep: Move memalign-related functions to their own header

Move the various memalign-related functions out of osdep.h and into
their own header, which we include only where they are used.
While we're doing this, add some brief documentation comments.

util: Put qemu_vfree() in memalign.c

qemu_vfree() is the companion free function to qemu_memalign(); put
it in memalign.c so the allocation and free functions are together.

util: Use meson checks for valloc() and memalign() presence

Instead of assuming that all CONFIG_BSD have valloc() and anything
else is memalign(), explicitly check for those functions in
meson.build and use the "is the function present" define. Tests for
specific functionality are better than which-OS checks; this also
lets us give a helpful error message if somehow there's no usable
function present.

util: Share qemu_try_memalign() implementation between POSIX and Windows

The qemu_try_memalign() functions for POSIX and Windows used to be
significantly different, but these days they are identical except for
the actual allocation function called, and the POSIX version already
has to have ifdeffery for different allocation functions.

Move to a single implementation in memalign.c, which uses the Windows
_aligned_malloc if we detect that function in meson.

util: Unify implementations of qemu_memalign()

We implement qemu_memalign() in both oslib-posix.c and oslib-win32.c,
but the two versions are essentially the same: they call
qemu_try_memalign(), and abort() after printing an error message if
it fails. The only difference is that the win32 version prints the
GetLastError() value whereas the POSIX version prints
strerror(errno). However, this is a bug in the win32 version: in
commit dfbd0b873a85021 in 2020 we changed the implementation of
qemu_try_memalign() from using VirtualAlloc() (which sets the
GetLastError() value) to using _aligned_malloc() (which sets errno),
but didn't update the error message to match.

Replace the two separate functions with a single version in a
new memalign.c file, which drops the unnecessary extra qemu_oom_check()
function and instead prints a more useful message including the
requested size and alignment as well as the errno string.
