RFR: 8307181: MemoryLayout.structLayout uses undocumented strict alignment constraints

This patch adds documentation for the behavior of the `MemoryLayout::structLayout` factory.

This factory throws an `IllegalArgumentException` if one of the member layouts passed to it occurs at an offset within the struct that is not aligned.

As part of this patch, I've also added some api notes on how to use this factory when unaligned elements are present.
