Instructions are opportunistically compressed by the RISC-V assembler
when possible, but in alternatives-blocks both the old and new content
need to be the same size, so having the toolchain do somewhat random
optimizations will cause strange side-effects like
"attempt to move .org backwards" compile-time errors.

Already a simple "and" used in alternatives assembly will cause these
mismatched code sizes.

So prevent compressed instructions to be generated in alternatives-
code and use option-push and -pop to only limit this to the relevant
code blocks

Yes, that makes sense:
