LoongArch: Use alternative to optimize libraries

Use the alternative to optimize common libraries according whether CPU
has UAL (hardware unaligned access support) feature, including memset(),
memcopy(), memmove(), copy_user() and clear_user().

We have tested UnixBench on a Loongson-3A5000 quad-core machine (1.6GHz):
