David Green e6918ca2b3 [SLC] Add an alignment to CreateGlobalString ...

Previously the alignment on the newly created global strings was not set,
meaning that DataLayout::getPreferredAlignment was free to overalign it
to 16 bytes. This caused unnecessary code bloat with the padding between
variables.

The main example of this happening was the printf->puts optimisation in
SimplifyLibCalls, but as the change here is made in
IRBuilderBase::CreateGlobalString, other globals using this will now be
aligned too.
