So, I think none of these structs will get actually used on
Windows, because they're ELF structure layouts which only
get used on hosts with ELF support. However I think it would
be nice to use QEMU_PACKED for consistency.

We can clearly straightforwardly switch the DebugInfo struct
in tcg/tcg.c to use QEMU_PACKED.

The remaining cases are all the same, in tcg/*/tcg-target.c:

typedef struct {
    uint32_t len __attribute__((aligned((sizeof(void *)))));
    uint32_t cie_offset;
    tcg_target_long func_start __attribute__((packed));
    tcg_target_long func_len __attribute__((packed));
    uint8_t def_cfa[4];
    uint8_t reg_ofs[14];
} DebugFrameFDE;

I think we can just remove the packed attributes from the
struct member fields and apply QEMU_PACKED to the whole struct:
I don't think this will change any of the alignment or packing
in the not-windows case.

(It's not clear to me why the alignment attribute is applied
to the len field rather than to the whole struct, but we
don't need to change that I guess.)
