For historic reasons, the behavior of .align differs between targets.
Fortunately, there are alternatives, .p2align and .balign, which make the
interpretation of the parameter explicit, and which behave consistently across
targets.
This patch teaches MC to use .p2align instead of .align, so that people reading
code for multiple architectures don't have to remember which way each platform
does its .align directive.

in other types. fix this by only bumping zero-byte globals
up to a single byte if the *entire global* is zero size,
fixing PR6340.
This also fixes empty arrays etc to be handled correctly,
and only does this on subsection-via-symbols targets (aka
darwin) which is the only place where this matters.

following it. However, the EmitGlobalConstant method wasn't emitting a body for
the constant. The assembler doesn't like that. Before, we were generating this:
.zerofill __DATA, __common, __cmd, 1, 3
This fix puts us back to that semantic.
