C11 has alignas.  We could also make the member before the flex array,
otherbits, wider, e.g. promote it to uint32_t.

A more parsimonious solution would be to turn the int member of struct
object_id, algo, into an unsigned char for now and reconsider the issue
once we support our 200th algorithm or so.  This breaks notes, though.
Its GET_PTR_TYPE seems to require struct leaf_node to have 4-byte
alignment for some reason.  That can be ensured by adding an int member.

Anyway, with either of these fixes UBSan is still unhappy about a
different issue.  Here's a patch for that:

--- >8 ---
Subject: [PATCH] object-file: use unsigned arithmetic with bit mask

33f379eee6 (make object_directory.loose_objects_subdir_seen a bitmap,
2021-07-07) replaced a wasteful 256-byte array with a 32-byte array
and bit operations.  The mask calculation shifts a literal 1 of type
int left by anything between 0 and 31.  UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer
doesn't like that and reports:

object-file.c:2477:18: runtime error: left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'

Make sure to use an unsigned 1 instead to avoid the issue.
