[PATCH libXi] Force alignment with sizeof(Atom) for XIButtonClassInfo

The memory layout of an XIButtonClassInfo is
[struct XIButtonClassInfo][mask][labels]
With the mask being currently 4-byte aligned and labels a list of Atoms. On
LP64, Atoms are 8 byte, leading to unaligned access for some mask lengths.
Force the alignment to be sizeof(Atom).

This should fix the alignment issue but I expect more problems to show up
with other calls. XI2 is 4-byte aligned on the wire and that has been taken
into the lib. So pretty much anywhere where there's a long or Atom involved,
this may cause issues.
Some auditing would be good here. Plus, some more generic approach at fixing
this than calculating the size by hand everywhere.
