Force 4 byte alignment for all Arm functions - #219

I was seeing an Arm function with 2 byte alignment, which caused a prefetch abort. Now they are all forced to 4 byte alignment. Also I observed that Rust was assembling all global_asm functions as A32 even on a "thumb*" target. So I've expressly marked them all as ".arm" to avoid surprise.
