/**
* \brief Calculates the alignment of the encoded output
*
* Knowing the alignment of the output data is useful e.g. in the Block
* encoder which tries to align the Compressed Data field optimally.
*
* \param filters Pointer to lzma_filter array, whose last
* member must have .id = LZMA_VLI_VALUE_UNKNOWN.
* \param guess The value to return if the alignment of the output
* is the same as the alignment of the input data.
* If you want to always detect this special case,
* this guess to zero; this function never returns
* zero unless guess is zero.
*
* \return In most cases, a small positive integer is returned;
* for optimal use, the encoded output of this filter
* chain should start at on offset that is a multiple of
* the returned integer value.
*
* If the alignment of the output is the same as the input
* data (which this function cannot know), \a guess is
* returned.
*
* If an error occurs (that is, unknown Filter IDs or filter
* options), UINT32_MAX is returned.
