Guarantee 8 bytes of alignment in Thread::into_raw When using `AtomicPtr` for synchronization it's incredibly useful when you've got a couple bits you can stuff metadata in. By guaranteeing that `Thread`'s `Inner` struct is aligned to 8 bytes everyone can use the bottom 3 bits to signal other things, such as a critical section, etc. This guarantee is thus very useful and costs us nothing.
