Jeff King c9b9fefc13 midx: enforce chunk alignment on reading
The midx reader assumes chunks are aligned to a 4-byte boundary: we
treat the fanout chunk as an array of uint32_t, indexing it to feed the
results to ntohl(). Without aligning the chunks, we may violate the
CPU's alignment constraints. Though many platforms allow this, some do
not. And certanily UBSan will complain, since it is undefined behavior.

Even though most chunks are naturally 4-byte-aligned (because they are
storing uint32_t or larger types), PNAM is not. It stores NUL-terminated
pack names, so you can have a valid chunk with any length. The writing
side handles this by 4-byte-aligning the chunk, introducing a few extra
NULs as necessary. But since we don't check this on the reading side, we
may end up with a misaligned fanout and trigger the undefined behavior.

We have two options here:

  1. Swap out ntohl(fanout[i]) for get_be32(fanout+i) everywhere. The
     latter handles alignment itself. It's possible that it's slightly
     slower (though in practice I'm not sure how true that is,
     especially for these code paths which then go on to do a binary
     search).

  2. Enforce the alignment when reading the chunks. This is easy to do,
     since the table-of-contents reader can check it in one spot.

I went with the second option here, just because it places less burden
on maintenance going forward (it is OK to continue using ntohl), and we
know it can't have any performance impact on the actual reads.

The commit-graph code uses the same chunk API. It's usually also 4-byte
aligned, but some chunks are not (like Bloom filter BDAT chunks). So
we'll pass "1" here to allow any alignment. It doesn't suffer from the
same problem as midx with its fanout because the fanout chunk is always
the first (and the rest of the format dictates that the first chunk will
start aligned).

The new test shows the effect on a midx with a misaligned PNAM chunk.
Note that the midx-reading code treats chunk-toc errors as soft, falling
back to the non-midx path rather than calling die(), as we do for other
parsing errors. Arguably we should make all of these behave the same,
but that's out of scope for this patch. For now the test just expects
the fallback behavior.
