First part of a big refactoring of alignment control to enable the handling of arbitrarily aligned buffers. It includes:

 - AlignedBit flag is deprecated. Alignment is now specified by the evaluator through the 'Alignment' enum, e.g., evaluator<Xpr>::Alignment. Its value is in Bytes.
 - Add several enums to specify alignment: Aligned8, Aligned16, Aligned32, Aligned64, Aligned128. AlignedMax corresponds to EIGEN_MAX_ALIGN_BYTES. Such enums are used to define the above Alignment value, and as the 'Options' template parameter of Map<> and Ref<>.
 - The Aligned enum is now deprecated. It is now an alias for Aligned16.
 - Currently, traits<Matrix<>>, traits<Array<>>, traits<Ref<>>, traits<Map<>>, and traits<Block<>> also expose the Alignment enum.
