 Encode alignment in MO_Memcpy and friends

 Summary:
 Alignment needs to be a compile-time constant. Previously the code
 generators had to jump through hoops to ensure this was the case as the
 alignment was passed as a CmmExpr in the arguments list. Now we take
 care of this up front.

 This fixes #8131.
