ref-filter: implement an align atom

Implement an `align` atom which left-, middle-, or right-aligns the
content between %(align:...) and %(end).

The "align:" is followed by `<width>` and `<position>` in any order
separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or
middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the
content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width
then no alignment is performed.  e.g. to align a refname atom to the
middle with a total width of 40 we can do:
--format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)".

We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which
is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we
implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the
final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c.

Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of
%(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip
quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element
is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the
end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then
stack.

Add documentation and tests for the same.

Left-, middle-, or right-align the content between
%(align:...) and %(end). The "align:" is followed by `<width>`
and `<position>` in any order separated by a comma, where the
`<position>` is either left, right or middle, default being
left and `<width>` is the total length of the content with
alignment. If the contents length is more than the width then
no alignment is performed. If used with '--quote' everything
in between %(align:...) and %(end) is quoted, but if nested
then only the topmost level performs quoting.

field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
