[PATCHv3] boot/image-fit.c: Use aligned_alloc(...) not memalign(...)

With the changes in commit 8fbcc0e0e839 ("boot: Assure FDT is always at
8-byte aligned address") to call memalign(...) we now always call
memalign(...) rather than malloc(...) when allocating a buffer that may
contain a device tree. However, memalign(...) is not portable among all
of the host OSes we support. The C11 standard does require that
aligned_alloc(...) exist and it takes the same parameters as
memalign(...) does. Change this file to call aligned_alloc rather than
memalign, and for the non-USE_HOSTCC case define that function back to
memalign.
Fixes: 8fbcc0e0e839 ("boot: Assure FDT is always at 8-byte aligned address")

Changes in v3:
- Per Heinrich's suggestion, make use of aligned_alloc(...) rather than
memalign(...) as C11 requires that function to exist.
