Commit faeedbcefd4 changed the alignment of WAL buffers from XLOG_BLCKSZ 
to PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE.

While looking around for places to apply alignas, I think I found at 
least two places that were forgotten, namely in BootStrapXLOG() and in 
pg_test_fsync.c.  Patches attached for those.

I also suspect that the TYPEALIGN call in XLOGShmemInit() should take 
PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE into account, but it's not immediately obvious how, 
since the comment also mentions that it wants alignment on "a full xlog 
block size boundary".  Maybe Max(XLOG_BLCKSZ, PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE)?

I also wonder whether the check in check_debug_io_direct() for #if 
XLOG_BLCKSZ < PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE would be required if we fixed all those 
places?
