bpo-36618: Don't add -fmax-type-align=8 flag for clang (GH-13320) 

Python 3.8 now respects the x86-64 ABI: memory allocations are
aligned on 16 bytes. The clang flag was only used as a temporary
workaround.

# bpo-36618: Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is
# detected. The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On
# x86-64, clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS
# instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that
# Python is limited to alignemnt on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction
# instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not aligned
# on 16 bytes.
#
# Sadly, the flag must be added to CFLAGS and not just CFLAGS_NODIST,
# since third party C extensions can have the same issue.
#
# Check if -fmax-type-align flag is supported (it's not supported by old
# clang versions):
