Waste 4 fewer bytes in GNU/Linux 32-bit HPPA

Also, add more commentary about the situation.
* src/systhread.h (SYSTHREAD_ALIGN_ROOM): Use alignof (double),
not alignof (int), to align the room.  This means we have
only 8 (not 12) bytes of slop on 32-bit HPPA GNU/Linux.

Unfortunately POSIX allows this curious situation.

to these objects at runtime.
Although since glibc 2.4 (2006) the stricter alignment has not been
needed by the underlying 32-bit HPPA code so the types are overaligned,
the overalignment is still present in glibc 2.42 (2025) to avoid
changing ABI offsets in structs that other libraries make visible.
Address the issue for all platforms that overalign the two types.
Do not bother to optimize for glibc 2.4+ on 32-bit HPPA even though
as of 2025 it is the only maintained platform known to overalign and
it does not need the overalignment. */
