LLVM: fix lowering of structs with underaligned fields

When lowering a struct type to an LLVM struct type, keep track of
whether there are any underaligned fields. If so, then make it a packed
llvm struct. This works because we already insert manual padding bytes
regardless.

We could unconditionally use an LLVM packed struct; the reason we bother
checking for underaligned fields is that it is a conservative choice, in
case LLVM handles packed structs less optimally. A future improvement
could simplify this code by unconditionally using packed LLVM structs
and then make sure measure perf is unaffected.
