Merge #17708: prevector: avoid misaligned member accesses

5f26855f109af53a336d5f98ed0ae584e7a31f84 test: Remove ubsan alignment suppressions (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
9d933ef9191417b4b7d29eaa3c3a571f814acc8e prevector: avoid misaligned member accesses (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  Ensure prevector data is appropriately aligned. Earlier discussion in #17530.

  **Edit laanwj**: In contrast to #17530, it does this without increase in size of any of the coin cache data structures (x86_64, clang)

  | Struct        | (size,align) before           | (size,align) after  |
  | ------------- | ------------- | ------- |
  | Coin | 48, 8        |     48, 8   |
  | CCoinsCacheEntry | 56, 8    |   56, 8  |
  | CScript | 32, 1       |      32, 8  |
