We all know and love sizeof(), but given that it's different from its C
counterpart anyway, shouldn't these conform to Swift naming guidelines? In
other words, after SE-0006, shouldn't these names be as follows?

```
size<T>(of: T.Type)
size<T>(ofValue: T)
stride<T>(of: T.Type)
stride<T>(ofValue: T)
align<T>(of: T.Type)
align<T>(ofValue: T)
```

There are obvious issues with two different things named `stride`, but IMO
that's best addressed by renaming one of them; the real problem is that the
word stride is used in two different ways already. Thoughts?
