This should all be done by CodeGen, not by injecting source-level attributes.

----------------
This is incorrect. The pointer returned by `operator new` is only suitably
aligned for any object that does not have new-extended alignment **and is of
the requested size**. And the pointer returned by `operator new[]` is suitably
aligned for any object **that is no larger than the requested size**. (These
are both different from the rule for `malloc`, which does behave as you're
suggesting here.) For example:
Suppose the default new alignment and the largest fundamental alignment are
both 16, and we try to allocate 12 bytes. Then:
* `operator new` need only return storage that is 4-byte aligned (because that
is the largest alignment that can be required by a type `T` with `sizeof(T) ==
12`)
* `operator new` need only return storage that is 8-byte aligned (because that
is the largest alignment that can be required by a type `T` with `sizeof(T) <=
12`)
* `malloc` must return storage that is 16-byte aligned (because that is the
largest fundamental alignment)
