osmo_io: Fix misalignment of iofd->cmsg used as struct cmsghdr

Fixes following ASAN runtime error:
"""
src/stream.c:398:47: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x516000012b81 for type 'struct cmsghdr', which requires 8 byte alignment
0x516000012b81: note: pointer points here
 51 00 00  00 30 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 84 00 00 00 01 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 03
              ^
"""

Current GCC documentation [1] states that __attribute__ ((__aligned__
(alignment))) is the older sytnax. The newer _Alignas mimics the
standarized alignas() in C23. Since we build with CLAGS=-std=gnu11 we
are fine using _Alignas, which was introduced in C11.
