Align PathBuildingHop to 128b, now that we store them in a Vec

Now that `PathBuildingHop` is stored in a `Vec` (as `Option`s),
rather than `HashMap` entries, they can grow to fill a full two
cache lines without a memory access performance cost. In the next
commit we'll take advantage of this somewhat, but here we update
the assertions and drop the `repr(C)`, allowing rust to lay the
memory out as it wishes.
