<summary>Changes</summary>
When creating global strings, some targets have requirements that need to be
taken into account. Previously, the global strings created by
`IRBuilder::createGlobalString` had a hard-coded alignment of `1`.
This commit makes it so that the alignment is taken from the data layout
instead, giving targets the chance to align global strings according to their
preferences.
This PR is motivated by (and should fix) #<!-- -->141491, where the 1-byte
alignment in a global string created by a `printf` optimization led to the
resulting assembly in a `-fno-PIC` compile to unexpectedly reference the GOT
based on whether the code contained `printf` statements of the form
`printf("foo\n");`.
I don't know and would appreciate feedback on whether this is the correct place
to fix something like that.
