When OpenSBI is compiled as fPIE mode, the assembler will translate "la"
to GOT reference pattern. It will cause to cost an additional load
instruction when obtaining the symbol address. However, if the symbol
locates within the positive or negative 2GB region, we can use "lla"
instead of "la" to avoid unneeded GOT references. This patch assumes that
the OpenSBI image excluding the payload does not exceed 2GB. Based on
this assumption, all "la" instructions are replaced by "lla" to avoid
performance degradation when compiling as fPIE mode.

Move the .align directives after switching the section. We want to align
the start of the current section, not the end of the previous section.
This also obsoletes the misguided workaround of disabling relaxation.

Some older toolchains may not have all the csr's defined. Update all
the csr functions to use the CSR_ #define values instead of the
toolchain defined values.
