error/E0691: include alignment in error message
Include the computed alignment of the violating field when rejecting transparent types with non-trivially aligned ZSTs.
ZST member fields in transparent types must have an alignment of 1 (to ensure it does not raise the layout requirements of the transparent field). The current error message looks like this:
```text
LL | struct Foobar(u32, [u32; 0]);
| ^^^^^^^^ has alignment larger than 1
```
This patch changes the report to include the alignment of the violating field:
```text
LL | struct Foobar(u32, [u32; 0]);
| ^^^^^^^^ has alignment of 4, which is larger than 1
```
In case of unknown alignments, it will yield:
```text
LL | struct Foobar(u32, [u32; 0]);
| ^^^^^^^^ may have alignment larger than 1
```
This allows developers to get a better grasp why a specific field is rejected. Knowing the alignment of the violating field makes it easier to judge where that alignment-requirement originates, and thus hopefully provide better hints on how to mitigate the problem.
This idea was proposed in 2022 in #98071 as part of a bigger change. This commit simply extracts this error-message change, to decouple it from the other diagnostic improvements.
