Fix Stack alignment for Microchip PIC32MX port (#182)
* Fix Stack alignment for Microchip PIC32MX port

The stack of a task was not 8 byte aligned. Adding one more unused space
at the beginning of task stack (before simulated context) ensures that
the stack is 8 byte aligned. The stack (with simulated context) of a
newly created task looks like the following:
