I take that back: the current coding of padding in AllocChunkData only
dates back to 7e3aa03b. But I still don't like it, and will migrate
generation.c's version into aset.c. And maybe improve the comments.
BTW, it appears that some of the confusion in generation.c can be
accounted for by not having entirely followed the changes in 7e3aa03b.
