BUG/MEDIUM: stick-tables: properly mark stktable_data as packed

The stktable_data union is made of types of varying sizes, and depending
on which types are stored in a table, some offsets might not necessarily
be aligned. This results in a bus error for certain regtests (e.g.
lb-services) on MIPS64. This bug may impact MIPS64, SPARC64, armv7 when
accessing a 64-bit counter (e.g. bytes) and depending on how the compiler
emitted the operation, and cause a trap that's emulated by the OS on RISCV
(heavy cost). x86_64 and armv8 are not affected at all.

Let's properly mark the struct with __attribute__((packed)) so that the
compiler emits the suitable unaligned-compatible instructions when
accessing the fields.

This should be backported to all versions where it applies.
