[CodeGen] Use ABI alignment for C++ new expressions

In case of placement new, if we do not know the alignment of the
operand, we can't assume it has the preferred alignment. It might be
e.g. a pointer to a struct member which follows ABI alignment rules.

This makes UBSAN no longer report "constructor call on misaligned
address" when constructing a double into a struct field of type double
on i686. The psABI specifies an alignment of 4 bytes, but the preferred
alignment used by Clang is 8 bytes.

We now use ABI alignment for allocating new as well, as the preferred
alignment should be used for over-aligning e.g. local variables, which
isn't relevant for ABI code dealing with operator new. AFAICT there
wouldn't be problems either way though.

Fixes #54845.
