Fixes #4396. For fixed arrays larger than the unmapped page, agenr would general a nil check by loading the first word of the array. However there is no requirement for the first element of a byte array to be word aligned, so this check causes a trap on ARMv5 hardware (ARMv6 since relaxed that restriction, but it probably still comes at a cost). Switching the check to MOVB ensures alignment is not an issue. This check is only invoked in a few places in the code where large fixed arrays are embedded into structs, compress/lzw is the biggest offender, and switching to MOVB has no observable performance penalty. Thanks to Rémy and Daniel Morsing for helping me debug this on IRC last night. R=remyoudompheng, minux.ma, rsc CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/6854063
