[M3devel] Another Allow_packed_byte_aligned issue

[Darko Volaric]

I implemented the byte aligned packing functionality and the
Allow_packed_byte_aligned flag was supposed to be a constant that signified
that the target CPU allows byte alignment thus relaxing the normal packing
restrictions.

I can't speak for the implementation of the pragma (or later changes), but
I think it should be removed since (in my mind) it doesn't serve any useful
purpose.
