Subject: QPID-3540 Typecasting and alignment requirements for various
 platforms

In RefCountedBuffer:
1. Pad the instantiantion address of RefCountedBuffer class up to an 8-byte boundary.
2. Add (void *) casts to 'store' pointer to prevent warnings about alignment.

In qpid-perftest:
1. Don't pull a size_t object from an arbitrary buffer address.
Instead, memcopy the object by bytes.
