This is mainly because posix_memalign has been there for
years and aligned_alloc is new.  The newer interface is clearly better,
and the documentation shouldn't recommend the worse interface.

It's no big deal; if you want to mention both,
go ahead -- but please at least mention aligned_alloc first.

This thread reminded me to change GNU Emacs to prefer aligned_alloc to
posix_memalign if available.  Thanks!
