block: Fix incorrect alignment offset reporting and update documentation

queue_sector_alignment_offset returned the wrong value which caused
partitions to report an incorrect alignment_offset.  Since offset
alignment calculation is needed several places it has been split into a
separate helper function.  The topology stacking function has been
updated accordingly.

Furthermore, comments have been added to clarify how the stacking
function works.
