[BOLT] Drop macro-fusion alignment (#97358)

9d0754a dropped MC support required for
optimal macro-fusion alignment in BOLT. Remove the support in BOLT as
performance measurements with large binaries didn't show a significant
improvement.

Test Plan:
macro-fusion alignment was never upstreamed, so no upstream tests are
affected.
