Function (or more narrow) scope static variables (as well as others not
placed on the stack) should also not have any effect on the stack
alignment. I noticed the issue first with Linux'es dynamic_pr_debug()
construct using an 8-byte aligned sub-file-scope local variable.

According to my checking bad behavior started with 4.6.x (4.5.3 was
still okay), but generated code got quite a bit worse as of 4.9.0.

[v3: Re-base to current trunk.]
[v2: Drop inclusion of hard register variables, as requested by
     Jakub and Richard.]

	variables when adjusting stack alignment related state.
