nodejs: backport a patch to prevent brotli crashing nodejs

Brotli can crash nodejs (on ARM), because the memory allocated for
brotli wasn't properly aligned.

Subject: [PATCH] zlib: fix pointer alignment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The function AllocForBrotli prefixes the allocated memory with its
size, and returns a pointer to the region after it. This pointer can
however no longer be suitably aligned. Correct this by allocating
the maximum of the the size of the size_t and the max alignment.
On Arm 32bits the size_t is 4 bytes long, but the alignment is 8 for
some NEON instructions. When Brotli is compiled with optimizations
enabled newer GCC versions will use the NEON instructions and trigger
a bus error killing node.
