x86/build: Use cc-option to validate stack alignment parameter

With the following commit:

  8f91869766c0 ("x86/build: Fix stack alignment for CLang")

cc-option is only used to determine the name of the stack alignment option
supported by the compiler, but not to verify that the actual parameter
<option>=N is valid in combination with the other CFLAGS.

This causes problems (as reported by the kbuild robot) with older GCC versions
which only support stack alignment on a boundary of 16 bytes or higher.

Also use (__)cc_option to add the stack alignment option to CFLAGS to
make sure only valid options are added.
