This reverts commit 1f63d3f.

I found PT_TLS.p_memsz to automatically be correctly aligned to the usual 0x8. I don't think, explicitly aligning again to 0x8 or PT_TLS.p_align is necessary.

This fixes hermit-os/hermit-rs#170. 🎉

This is the right knob but not the correct solution for all cases, I'm working on a fix.

Closing in favor of a more sophisticated solution. Turns out, we'll have to pipe the alignment through...

311: Fix thread pointer calculation, rework TaskTLS r=mkroening a=mkroening

Closes hermit-os/hermit-rs#170. 🎉 

Replaces #305.

Depends on:

* hermit-os/loader#46
* hermit-os/uhyve#241

The cause of the issue is the calculation of the thread pointer:

```python
# Current calculation (wrong)
thread_ptr = tls_block_ptr + round(tls_len, 32)

# Correct calculation
thread_ptr = tls_block_ptr + round(tls_len, tls_align)
# round(tls_len, tls_align) is called tls_offset
```

This is fixed in the first two commits of this PR.

The later commits completely rework the `TaskTLS` struct. I did this to better understand the problem. The old comments were partly outdated and wrong. Also the code was not very rusty. I replaced manual memory allocations with `Box`es and restructured and recommented the code.
