Use GCALIGNED properly for GCC

Apparently GCC requires that ‘__attribute__ ((aligned (8)))’ must
immediately follow the ‘struct’ keyword when aligning a structure.
The attribute silently does not work if it follows a tag after the
‘struct’ keyword.  Who knew?  Anyway, this patch is designed to
fix a SIGSEGV problem reported by John Mastro (Bug#29183).
* lib-src/make-docfile.c (close_emacs_globals):
* src/buffer.c (buffer_defaults, buffer_local_symbols):
* src/lisp.h (DEFUN):
* src/thread.c (main_thread):
Put 'GCALIGNED' immediately after 'struct'.
