Possible extension of the cpu type list

WebCore/platform/text/StringHash.h and WebCore/platform/text/AtomicString.cpp have a hard coded list of cpu types requiring alignment. This list is too short.

Actually it would probably be preferable to create the inverse list of cpu types where unaligned 32bit access is both allowed AND faster than single byte access - I would guess this to be pretty short.
