[dev-context] Bugs: align[outer] requires setuppagenumbering, and fails on odd pages

Dear devs,

When I try to use \startalignment[outer], it fails when one of the
following is true:

* the command is invoked on an odd-numbered page, or
* \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] was not called first.

Regarding the second point, the bug is that I believe
\setuplayout[location=doublesided] also ought to work, but doesn't.

I get the same "! undefined control sequence" error message in all
cases; the error message and a minimal *working* example are
reproduced below, with comments showing how to break the working
example.

Cheers,

Sietse
