xtensa: add config option to disable linker relaxation

The default linker behavior is to optimize identical literal values and
remove unnecessary overhead from assembler-generated "longcall" sequences
to reduce code size. Provide an option to disable this behavior to improve
compile time.

Enable this function to disable link-time optimizations.
The default linker behavior is to combine identical literal
values to reduce code size and remove unnecessary overhead from
assembler-generated 'longcall' sequences.
Enabling this option improves the link time but increases the
code size, and possibly execution time.
