This PR proposes bit-aligning `PaddingLayout` to 8 by default as opposed to the current value of 1.
More generally, the PR restricts `PaddingLayout` bit-alignment to non-negative values that are an even multiple of 8 (i.e. 0, 8, 16, ...). There are no mechanism to derive `VarHandle` objects for sub-byte access anyhow and trying to obtain a miss-aligned `VarHandle` would throw an exception.
If integrated, all `MemoryLayout` types would be byte-aligned.

Commit messages:
- Add copyright years
- Use byte to store MemoryLayout variables
- Require all bitSizes to be dividable by 8
- Allow zero PaddingLayout elements
- Make PaddingLayout always align to byte boundaries
