ARC: Enable unaligned access in hardware if compiler uses it

Even if ARC core might handle unaligned access to data this
hardware feature by default is disabled.

But GCC starting from 8.1.0 unconditionally uses it for ARC HS cores.
Which leads to quite strange and fatal run-time failures like the one
below if HW is not configured properly:
| hsdk# sf probe
| Misaligned data access exception @ 0xbff794d4

| Resetting CPU ...

Now we're checking for __ARC_UNALIGNED__ define emitted by the
compiler if it's going to use unaligned access and then we
force-enable it in hardware too.
