Rich Felker 1e6fc0b690 avoid padding gaps in struct sockaddr_storage
compilers are free not to copy, or in some cases to clobber, padding
bytes in a structure. while it's an aliasing violation, and thus
undefined behavior, to copy or manipulate other sockaddr types using
sockaddr_storage, it seems likely that traditional code attempts to do
so, and the original intent of the sockaddr_storage structure was
probably to allow such usage.

in the interest of avoiding silent and potentially dangerous breakage,
ensure that there are no actual padding bytes in sockaddr_storage by
moving and adjusting the size of the __ss_padding member so that it
fits exactly.

this change also removes a silent assumption that the alignment of
long is equal to its size.
