In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to
know at compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned
accesses. This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol
	ARCH_CAN_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures.
Also add some documentation about alignment and networking, and
especially one intended use of this symbol.

I think you're semantically testing the wrong thing.

It's not if unaligned accesses are supported, it's if they are
efficient enough or not.

For example, sparc64 fully handles unaligned accesses but taking the
trap to fix it up is slow.  So sparc64 "can" handle unaligned
accesses, but whether we want to set this symbol or not is another
matter.
