YunQiang Su d7e28cd82b MIPS: Support -m(no-)unaligned-access for r6 (#85174) ...

MIPSr6 ISA requires normal load/store instructions support
misunaligned memory access, while it is not always do so
by hardware. On some microarchitectures or some corner cases
it may need support by OS.

Don't confuse with pre-R6's lwl/lwr famlily: MIPSr6 doesn't
support them, instead, r6 requires lw instruction support
misunaligned memory access. So, if -mstrict-align is used for
pre-R6, lwl/lwr won't be disabled.

If -mstrict-align is used for r6 and the access is not well
aligned, some lb/lh instructions will be used to replace lw.
This is useful for OS kernels.

To be back-compatible with GCC, -m(no-)unaligned-access are also
added as Neg-Alias of -m(no-)strict-align.
