Memory allocators: Revert Q_MALLOC to 8-byte alignment
Commit 1f55d05c2b actually upped Q_MALLOC's address alignment from
8-bytes to 16-bytes. While this isn't necessarily a bug (in fact,
it makes OpenSIPS more crash-safe), it enables new scenarios where
buffer overrun crashes would happen with F_MALLOC but not with Q_MALLOC.
And since Q_MALLOC is the intended crash debugger, these scenarios
must not be allowed, so we stick to 8-byte alignment. If anyone needs
16-byte aligned memory, they can just re-define ROUNDTO and re-compile.
(cherry picked from commit c29652fa10dbd34ce499f817891abe25964ee63b)
