This issue is fixed in the attached revision, v6. I now avoid breaking
alignment-picky platforms in visibilitymap.c by using PGAlignedBlock
in the vm snapshot struct (this replaces the raw char buffer used in
earlier revisions).

Posting v6 will also keep CFTester happy. v5 no longer applies cleanly
due to conflicts caused by today's "Deduplicate freeze plans in freeze
WAL records" commit.

No other changes in v6 that are worth noting here.
