Fix potentially unaligned accesses in ff_copy_bits() A pointer should never be assigned a value which may have less than the required alignment of the target type. Compilers may assume pointer values have the required alignment, and emit normal load/store instructions. Unaligned pointers should use a character type or compiler-specific type modifiers.
