This PR updates c2v-readFieldValue to always do the field read with volatile semantics but without using a volatile read instruction directly to avoid platform specific issues with unaligned reads (e.g., an unaligned ldar on AArch64 causes a SIGBUS).

-------------

Commit messages:
 - avoid unaligned volatile reads in c2v_readFieldValue
 - expanded MemoryAccessProviderTest to test unaligned reads
