This fixes a mis-link when mixing compressed and non-compressed input to LLD. When relaxing calls, we must respect the source file that the section came from when deciding whether it's legal to use compressed instructions. If the call in question comes from a non-rvc source, then it will not expect 2-byte alignments and cascading failures may result. This fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/63964. The symptom seen there is that a latter RISCV_ALIGN can't be satisfied and we either fail an assert or produce a totally bogus link result. (It can be easily reproduced by putting .p2align 5 right before the nop in the reduced test case and running check-lld on an assertions enabled build.) However, it's important to note this is just one possible symptom of the problem. If the resulting binary has a runtime switch between rvc and non-rvc routines (via e.g. ifuncs), then even if we manage to link we may execute invalid instructions on a machine which doesn't implement compressed instructions.
