Optimize pointer alignment in utf8 validation

This uses (and reuses) the u8 arrays's inherent block alignment when checking whether the current index is block aligned.

I initially thought that this would just move the expensive `align_offset` call out of the while loop and replace it with a subtraction and bitwise AND. But it appears this optimizes much better, too...
