The following extends the very simplistic cost modeling I added somewhen late in the release process to, for all unknown misaligned refs, also apply this model for loops containing stores.
The model basically says it's useless to peel for alignment if there's only a single DR that is affected or if, in case we'll end up using hw-supported misaligned loads, the cost of misaligned loads is the same as of aligned ones. Previously we'd usually align one of the stores with the theory that this improves (precious) store-bandwith. Note this is only a so slightly conservative (aka less peeling). We'll still apply peeling for alignment if you make the testcase use += because then we'll align both the load and the store from v1. Bootstrap / regtest running on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
