Remove TargetBaseAlign. Keep alignment for stack adjustments.

[asbirlea]

Summary

TargetBaseAlign is no longer required since LSV checks if target allows misaligned accesses.
A constant defining a base alignment is still needed for stack accesses where alignment can be adjusted.

I think we still want a comment here, because we're basically assuming that 4 bytes is good enough for any type.

Can we rewrite this function as

if (Alignment % SzInBytes == 0)
  return true;
bool Fast = false;
bool Allows = ...;
return !Allows || !Fast;

That would make it a lot more obvious to me.

I think this makes an easier TTI hook now that it isn't related to unaligned access

Address comments.

I think you meant return false on the first condition. Updated.

Yes, "not misaligned". Sigh.
