BitField: Fix alignment issues.

Browse Source 
At least one platform (ARM with NEON instructions enabled) generates SIGBUSes if BitField objects aren't aligned properly.

*
* Caveats:
*
* 1)
* BitField provides automatic casting from and to the storage type where
* appropriate. However, when using non-typesafe functions like printf, an
* explicit cast must be performed on the BitField object to make sure it gets
* passed correctly, e.g.:
* printf("Value: %d", (s32)some_register.some_signed_fields);
*
* 2)
* Not really a caveat, but potentially irritating: This class is used in some
* packed structures that do not guarantee proper alignment. Therefore we have
* to use #pragma pack here not to pack the members of the class, but instead
* to break GCC's assumption that the members of the class are aligned on
* sizeof(StorageType).
* TODO(neobrain): Confirm that this is a proper fix and not just masking
* symptoms.
