Added clarification on buffer alignment.

In v2, the lookahead_buffer was changed from requiring 4-byte alignment
to requiring 8-byte alignment. This was not documented as well as it
could be, and as FabianInostroza noted, this also implies that
lfs_malloc must provide 8-byte alignment.

To protect against this, I've also added an assert on the alignment of
both the lookahead_size and lookahead_buffer.
