tools/bpftool: Generate data section struct with conservative alignment 

The comment in the code describes this in good details. Generate such a memory
layout that would work both on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures for user-space.

/* Assume 32-bit architectures when generating data section
* struct memory layout. Given bpftool can't know which target
* host architecture it's emitting skeleton for, we need to be
* conservative and assume 32-bit one to ensure enough padding
* bytes are generated for pointer and long types. This will
* still work correctly for 64-bit architectures, because in
* the worst case we'll generate unnecessary padding field,
* which on 64-bit architectures is not strictly necessary and
* would be handled by natural 8-byte alignment. But it still
* will be a correct memory layout, based on recorded offsets
* in BTF.
