binman: Support default alignment for sections

Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries
in a section, such as when word-alignment is necessary, for example. It
is tedious and error-prone to specify this individually for each section.

Add a property to control this for a section.

+align-default:
+    Specifies the default alignment for entries in this section, if they do
+    not specify an alignment. Note that this only applies to top-level entries
+    in the section (direct subentries), not any subentries of those entries.
+    This means that each section must specify its own default alignment, if
+    required.
+
 Examples of the above options can be found in the tests. See the
 tools/binman/test directory.
