Sanjay Patel 28660d4b2f Add a feature flag for slow 32-byte unaligned memory accesses [x86].
This patch adds a feature flag to avoid unaligned 32-byte load/store AVX codegen
for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. There is no functionality change intended for 
those chips. Previously, the absence of AVX2 was being used as a proxy to detect
this feature. But that hindered codegen for AVX-enabled AMD chips such as btver2
that do not have the 32-byte unaligned access slowdown.

Performance measurements are included in PR21541 ( http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21541 ).
