Replaced SDL_SIMDAlloc(), SDL_SIMDRealloc(), and SDL_SIMDFree() with SDL_aligned_alloc() and SDL_aligned_free()

Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5641

 * Added SDL_DelayNS() to specify a delay in nanoseconds, to the highest precision the system will support
 * The timestamp member of the SDL_Event structure is now in nanoseconds, filled in with the time the event was generated, or the time it was queued if that's not available
 * Added SDL_modf() and SDL_modff() to separate the whole and fractional portions of a floating point number
+* Added SDL_aligned_alloc() and SDL_aligned_free() to allocate and free memory with a given alignment

- * Allocate memory in a SIMD-friendly way.
- *
- * This will allocate a block of memory that is suitable for use with SIMD
- * instructions. Specifically, it will be properly aligned and padded for the
- * system's supported vector instructions.
- *
- * The memory returned will be padded such that it is safe to read or write an
- * incomplete vector at the end of the memory block. This can be useful so you
- * don't have to drop back to a scalar fallback at the end of your SIMD
- * processing loop to deal with the final elements without overflowing the
- * allocated buffer.
- *
- * You must free this memory with SDL_FreeSIMD(), not free() or SDL_free() or
- * delete[], etc.
- *
- * Note that SDL will only deal with SIMD instruction sets it is aware of; for
- * example, SDL 2.0.8 knows that SSE wants 16-byte vectors (SDL_HasSSE()), and
- * AVX2 wants 32 bytes (SDL_HasAVX2()), but doesn't know that AVX-512 wants
- * 64. To be clear: if you can't decide to use an instruction set with an
- * SDL_Has*() function, don't use that instruction set with memory allocated
- * through here.
- *
- * SDL_AllocSIMD(0) will return a non-NULL pointer, assuming the system isn't
- * out of memory, but you are not allowed to dereference it (because you only
- * own zero bytes of that buffer).
- *
- * \param len The length, in bytes, of the block to allocate. The actual
- *            allocated block might be larger due to padding, etc.
