[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit 1/4] FFI: Fix ffi.alignof() for reference types.

[Sergey Kaplun]

From: Mike Pall <mike>

Reported by Eric Gouyer.

(cherry picked from commit 36b2962d400db3981a7d7322f85c469240eb6f3b)

According to C++ Standard (5.3.6.3) [1], the `alignof()` for the
reference should be the same as for the referenced type. This patch
fixes the behaviour by following the reference to get a child id for
`ffi.alignof()`.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem

Part of tarantool/tarantool#9924
