This change remove the old padding (extremely big, especially on x86-64), and replaces it with a guaranteed 8 byte alignment. It also removes the `_bottom` field and instead adds a `payload` method. I statically assert that Segment is 8 byte aligned. I then runtime assert that Segment is constructed on 8 byte aligned memory. I also assert that the Slot alignment is less than or equal to the Segment alignment.

I am running tier 1-3 at the moment. Do you think I should run some specific performance test on this?
