  RISCV: permit unaligned nop-slide padding emission

We may be requested to emit an unaligned nop sequence (e.g. 7-bytes or
3-bytes).  These should be 0-filled even though that is not a valid
instruction.  This matches the behaviour on other architectures like
ARM, X86, and MIPS.  When a custom section is emitted, it may be
classified as text even though it may be a data section or we may be
emitting data into a text segment (e.g. a literal pool).  In such cases,
we should be resilient to the emission request.

This was originally identified by the Linux kernel build and reported on
D131270 by Nathan Chancellor.
