[PATCH] RISC-V: Add and document the "-mno-relax" option

From: Palmer Dabbelt RISC-V relies on aggressive linker relaxation to get good code size. As a result no text symbol addresses can be known until link time, which means that alignment must be handled during the link. This alignment pass is essentially just another linker relaxation, so this has
