Aligned allocation fixes. Fixes #1845 (#1846)

The error in #1845 shows:

/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/mixed_arena.h: In member function 'void* MixedArena::allocSpace(size_t, size_t)':
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/mixed_arena.h:125:43: error: 'new' of type 'MixedArena::Chunk' {aka 'std::aligned_storage<32768, 16>::type'} with extended alignment 16 [-Werror=aligned-new=]
       chunks.push_back(new Chunk[numChunks]);
                                           ^
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/mixed_arena.h:125:43: note: uses 'void* operator new [](std::size_t)', which does not have an alignment parameter
/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/mixed_arena.h:125:43: note: use '-faligned-new' to enable C++17 over-aligned new support

It turns out I had misread the aligned_storage docs, and they don't actually do what we need, which is a convenient cross-platform way to do aligned allocation, since new itself doesn't support that. Sadly it seems there is no cross-platform way to do it right now, so I added a header in support which abstracts over the windows and everything-else ways.

Also add some ctest testing, which runs on windows, so we get basic windows coverage in our CI.
