Instructions are opportunistically compressed by the RISC-V assembler
when possible, but in alternatives-blocks both the old and new content
need to be the same size, so having the toolchain do somewhat random
optimizations will cause strange side-effects like
"attempt to move .org backwards" compile-time errors.

Already a simple "and" used in alternatives assembly will cause these
mismatched code sizes.

So prevent compressed instructions to be generated in alternatives-
code and use option-push and -pop to only limit this to the relevant
code blocks

There should probably be a ".option norelax" in here as well, as 
relaxation will trigger exactly the same issues.  That, or we could just 
remove the constraint that these must be the same size (ie, 
automatically pad the smaller one with NOP/jump-to-end).
