Fixes #4425.
This globally silences the warning because I don't think it's ever useful for the STL to emit it. If the user gives us a highly-aligned type, and we have to build another type with it, warning about padding is unlikely to be productive - presumably they had reasons for making their type highly-aligned, and it's not like they can change the layout of our type. (Yeah, in theory maybe they could request a different order of
tuple
elements or something, but most of the time it's not going to be actionable.) And if the warning is emitted purely from STL code, as in my test case, it's extremely annoying. Finally, this is just a performance warning - it has no impact on correctness.
