Fix Miri symbolic alignment check failures

This change introduces the miri_promise_symbolic_alignment intrinsic and uses it to resolve false positives in Miri's symbolic alignment checking. This prepares the codebase for enabling -Zmiri-symbolic-alignment-check in CI.

  • Defined miri_promise_symbolic_alignment in src/util/mod.rs (guarded by cfg(miri)).
  • Applied the intrinsic in src/pointer/ptr.rs (as_ref and as_mut) to promise alignment when the Aligned invariant is held.
  • Enabled feature(layout_for_ptr) under Miri to allow using align_of_val_raw for unsized types.

Note: The CI configuration (.github/workflows/ci.yml) must be updated separately to add -Zmiri-symbolic-alignment-check to ZC_NIGHTLY_MIRIFLAGS, as workflow modifications are restricted in this environment.

Makes progress on #674

*   Defined `miri_promise_symbolic_alignment` in `src/util/mod.rs` (guarded by `cfg(miri)`).
*   Applied the intrinsic in `src/pointer/ptr.rs` (`as_ref` and `as_mut`) to promise alignment when the `Aligned` invariant is held.
*   Enabled `feature(layout_for_ptr)` under Miri to allow using `align_of_val_raw` for unsized types.

Note: The CI configuration (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) must be updated separately to add `-Zmiri-symbolic-alignment-check` to `ZC_NIGHTLY_MIRIFLAGS`, as workflow modifications are restricted in this environment.
