Instead of compiler specific align hint use C++ standard aligned alloc

[ThrudPrimrose]

We can use alignas, std::aligned_alloc and std::free that are in the C++ standard instead of using DACE_ALIGN + delete[] which are compiler specific. Even though both Clang, GCC support this extension...

Also please remember that we are trying to generate as much C99 as possible. We only use C++ if we must

C11, and since it is in C standard library, C++ gets it too

Only because we have to and not on device code
