internal/bytealg: correct alignment checks for compare/memequal on riscv64

On riscv64 we need 8 byte alignment for 8 byte loads - the existing check
was only ensuring 4 byte alignment, which potentially results in unaligned
loads being performed. Unaligned loads incur a significant performance penality
due to the resulting kernel traps and fix ups.

Adjust BenchmarkCompareBytesBigUnaligned so that this issue would have been
more readily visible.

Updates #50615
