The WebAssembly SIMD intrinsics in wasm_simd128.h generally try not to require
any particular alignment for memory operations to be maximally flexible. For
builtin memory access functions and their corresponding LLVM IR intrinsics,
there's no way to set the expected alignment, so the best we can do is set the
alignment to 1 in the backend. This change means that the alignment hints in the
emitted code will no longer be incorrect when users use the intrinsics to access
unaligned data.

Specified in https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/pull/237, these
instructions load the first vector lane from memory and zero the other
lanes. Since these instructions are not officially part of the SIMD
proposal, they are only available on an opt-in basis via LLVM
intrinsics and clang builtin functions. If these instructions are
merged to the proposal, this implementation will change so that the
instructions will be generated from normal IR. At that point the
intrinsics and builtin functions would be removed.
This PR also changes the opcodes for the experimental f32x4.qfm{a,s}
instructions because their opcodes conflicted with those of the
v128.load{32,64}_zero instructions. The new opcodes were chosen to
match those used in V8.
