We are too eager to bump alignment of some decls when vectorizing.
The fix is to not bump alignment of decls the user explicitely
aligned or that are used in an unknown way.

Bootstrapped and tested on i686-darwin9 and x86_64-apple-darwin10
and powerpc-apple-darwin9 by darwin folks, applied.

Richard.

	PR tree-optimization/53708
	* tree-vect-data-refs.c (vect_can_force_dr_alignment_p): Preserve
	user-supplied alignment and alignment of decls with the used
	attribute.

I thought attribute((__aligned__)) only set a minimum alignment
for variables?  Most usees I've seen have been trying to get
better performance from higher alignment, so it might not go
down well if the attribute stopped the vectoriser from increasing
the alignment still further.

That's what the documentation says indeed.  I'm not sure which
part of the patch fixes the ObjC failures where the alignment
is part of the ABI (and I suppose ObjC then mis-uses the aligned
attribute?).
