feat: allow element alignment based on ports for x analogue to y

Accept `(from: <anchor>, to: <port-id>)` for the `x` parameter of
elements, aligning the element's port with the anchor, analogous to the
existing form for `y`. Add a `ports-x` parameter for elements with
`auto-ports: false` and a `gallery/test_xalign` gallery entry.
