tuklib_integer: Revise unaligned reads and writes on strict-align archs.

In XZ Utils context this doesn't matter much because
unaligned reads and writes aren't used in hot code
when TUKLIB_FAST_UNALIGNED_ACCESS isn't #defined.

// Unaligned reads and writes //
////////////////////////////////
// No-strict-align archs like x86-64
// ---------------------------------
//
// The traditional way of casting e.g. *(const uint16_t *)uint8_pointer
// is bad even if the uint8_pointer is properly aligned because this kind
// of casts break strict aliasing rules and result in undefined behavior.

// build time. A third method, casting to a packed struct, would also be
// an option but isn't provided to keep things simpler (it's already a mess).
// Hopefully this is flexible enough in practice.
//
// Some compilers on x86-64 like Clang >= 10 and GCC >= 5.1 detect that
//
// buf[0] | (buf[1] << 8)
//
// reads a 16-bit value and can emit a single 16-bit load and produce
// identical code than with the memcpy() method. In other cases Clang and GCC
// produce either the same or better code with memcpy(). For example, Clang 9
// on x86-64 can detect 32-bit load but not 16-bit load.
//
// MSVC uses unaligned access with the memcpy() method but emits byte-by-byte
// code for "buf[0] | (buf[1] << 8)".
//
// Conclusion: The memcpy() method is the best choice when unaligned access
// is supported.
//
// Strict-align archs like SPARC
// -----------------------------
//
// GCC versions from around 4.x to to at least 13.2.0 produce worse code
// from the memcpy() method than from simple byte-by-byte shift-or code
// when reading a 32-bit integer:
//
// (1) It may be constructed on stack using using four 8-bit loads,
// four 8-bit stores to stack, and finally one 32-bit load from stack.
//
// (2) Especially with -Os, an actual memcpy() call may be emitted.
//
// This is true on at least on ARM, ARM64, SPARC, SPARC64, MIPS64EL, and
// RISC-V. Of these, ARM, ARM64, and RISC-V support unaligned access in
// some processors but not all so this is relevant only in the case when
// GCC assumes that unaligned is not supported or -mstrict-align or
// -mno-unaligned-access is used.
//
// For Clang it makes little difference. ARM64 with -O2 -mstrict-align
// was one the very few with a minor difference: the memcpy() version
// was one instruction longer.
//
// Conclusion: At least in case of GCC and Clang, byte-by-byte code is
// the best choise for strict-align archs to do unaligned access.
//
// See also: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111502
//
// Thanks to <https://godbolt.org/> it was easy to test different compilers.
// The following is for little endian targets:
