Extend the alignment check to borrows

The current alignment check does not include checks for creating
misaligned references from raw pointers, which is now added in this
patch.

When inserting the check we need to be careful with references to
field projections (e.g. `&(*ptr).a`), in which case the resulting
reference must be aligned according to the field type and not the
type of the pointer.
