kbuild: Use -fmin-function-alignment when available

GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear
in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to
be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones.

In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is
required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8
and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow
this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly
guarantees it.

Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of
-falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.
