    riscv: Use memcpy to handle unaligned access when fixing R_RISCV_RELATIVE
    
    Although RISC-V Linux will enable the unaligned memory access handler by
    default, that is quite expensive in general, using memcpy will be much cheaper
    - just break down that into several load/store byte instructions.
    
    ARM and MIPS has similar issue:
    
    ARM: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51456
    MIPS: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-help/2005-07/msg00325.html
