Cycles: test code for sse 4.1 kernel and alignment for some vector types.

This is mostly work towards enabling the __KERNEL_SSE__ option to start using
SIMD operations for vector math operations. This 4.1 kernel performes about 8%
faster with that option but overall is still slower than without the option.

WITH_CYCLES_OPTIMIZED_KERNEL_SSE41 is the cmake flag for testing this kernel.

Alignment of int3, int4, float3, float4 to 16 bytes seems to give a slight 1-2%
speedup on tested systems with the current kernel already, so is enabled now.
