Changed resource alignment behaviour for ELF64 binaries.

Browse Source 
The current behaviour of aligning to the maximum value of p_align seen
is problematic for x86_64, as the default segment alignment is 2MB.
This causes all x86_64 binaries to be padded to at least 2MB when
resources are added to them. There is no need to align to p_align in
the file itself (it's only an in-memory requirement), therefore
instead just align up to an 8-byte boundary. The current behaviour is
retained for ELF32, so this won't cause any compatibility problems
(there are no existing ELF64 BeOS/Haiku binaries to worry about).
