[PATCH] GAS fix section alignment for aarch64-pe

[Zac Walker]

For the aarch64-pe target, section alignment for various values of
'.align'  causes writing of coff files to fail.
This patch performs aligning in md_section_align as opposed to the
original approach in aarch64_handle_align. The change is specific to
the aarch64-pe target.

Thanks,

Zac
