shared/options: fix crash by aligning struct to sizeof(void*)
On some architectures like m68k, alignof(void*) is 2, not sizeof(void*)
(which is 4). So the natural alignment of struct Option is 2 and
sizeof(Option) == 26.
However, each variable placed in the SYSTEMD_OPTIONS ELF section via
_OPTION() carries _alignptr_ (= __attribute__((aligned(sizeof(void*))))),
which forces each entry to start at a 4-byte boundary. The linker
therefore inserts 2 bytes of padding between adjacent entries, producing
an actual stride of 28 in the section.
option_parse() iterates over the section with pointer arithmetic
("opt++"), which advances by sizeof(Option) == 26 and lands inside the
padding. The fields read back as zero, and since commit
cf88903637
("tree-wide: get rid of most uses of ALIGN_PTR") added the ordering
assertion below, the resulting "0 < 0" trips it when running --help:
Assertion 'opt->id < (opt + 1)->id' failed at src/shared/options.c:116, function option_parse(). Aborting.

Fix this by applying _alignptr_ to the struct definition itself, so that
sizeof(Option) is padded up to a multiple of sizeof(void*) and matches
the actual on-disk stride. Add an assert_cc() so any future regression
is caught at compile time.
The same latent bug applies to Verb and TestFunc, which use the same
section-placement pattern. Their natural sizeof was already a multiple
of sizeof(void*) so no crash was observed, but apply the same fix
defensively.
