If the hardware unaligned access speed is known at compile time, it is
possible to avoid running the unaligned access speed probe to speedup
boot-time.

Changes in v5:
- Clarify Kconfig options from Conor's feedback
- Use "unaligned" instead of "misaligned" in introduced file/function.
This is a bit hard to standardize because the riscv manual says
"misaligned" but the existing Linux configs say "unaligned".
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240216-disable_misaligned_probe_config-v4-0-dc01e581c0ac@rivosinc.com
Changes in v4:
- Add additional Kconfig options for the other unaligned access speeds
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202-disable_misaligned_probe_config-v3-0-c44f91f03bb6@rivosinc.com
Changes in v3:
- Revert change to csum (Eric)
- Change ifndefs for ifdefs (Eric)
- Change config in Makefile (Elliot/Eric)
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240201-disable_misaligned_probe_config-v2-0-77c368bed7b2@rivosinc.com
Changes in v2:
- Move around definitions to reduce ifdefs (Clément)
- Make RISCV_MISALIGNED depend on !HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
(Clément)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240131-disable_misaligned_probe_config-v1-0-98d155e9cda8@rivosinc.com
