mesa: fix display list 8-byte alignment issue

The _mesa_dlist_alloc() function is only guaranteed to return a pointer
with 4-byte alignment.  On 64-bit systems which don't support unaligned
loads (e.g. SPARC or MIPS) this could lead to a bus error in the VBO code.

The solution is to add a new  _mesa_dlist_alloc_aligned() function which
will return a pointer to an 8-byte aligned address on 64-bit systems.
This is accomplished by inserting a 4-byte NOP instruction in the display
list when needed.

The only place this actually matters is the VBO code where we need to
allocate a 'struct vbo_save_vertex_list' which needs to be 8-byte
aligned (just as if it were malloc'd).

The gears demo and others hit this bug.
