Specify DWARF alignment in bits, not bytes.

In DWARF, alignment of types is specified in bits, as is made clear by the
parameter name `AlignInBits`. However, `rustc` was incorrectly passing a byte
alignment. This commit fixes that.

This was noticed in upstream LLVM when I tried to check in a test consisting of
LLVM IR generated from `rustc` and it triggered assertions [1].

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
