Thorsten Schuett e18c6ef6b4 [clang] improve diagnostics for misaligned and large atomics
"Listing the alignment and access size (== expected alignment) in the warning
seems like a good idea."

Richard Smith edb9fbb78a Make -Watomic-alignment say whether the atomic operation was oversized
or misaligned.

Tim Northover 9dc1d0c74e [Atomics] warn about atomic accesses using libcalls
If an atomic variable is misaligned (and that suspicion is why Clang emits
libcalls at all) the runtime support library will have to use a lock to safely
access it, with potentially very bad performance consequences. There's a very
good chance this is unintentional so it makes sense to issue a warning.

Also give it a named group so people can promote it to an error, or disable it
if they really don't care.
