commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=630a87907fa580f668d7159a5e84398419d6b3fd
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Enable hardware acceleration for ARMv8 targets.

When ARMv8 hardware acceleration is enabled on AArch64 without any
additional flags, the build fails with the following messages:

make[3]: *** [Makefile:3801: wolfcrypt/src/port/arm/src_libwolfssl_la-armv8-aes.lo] Error 1

This is because of some inline assembly in parts of the AES structure
using the "m" constraint.

So lets use the flag -mstrict-align to prevent this error.

[Thomas: restrict the -mstrict-align workaround to AArch64, as ARMv8-A
can also be used in an AArch32 build, and in this case, gcc doesn't
support the -mstrict-align flag]
