ARM: assembler: add optimized ldr/str macros to load variables from memory
We will be adding variable loads to various hot paths, so it makes sense
to add a helper macro that can load variables from asm code without the
use of literal pool entries. On v7 or later, we can simply use MOVW/MOVT
pairs, but on earlier cores, this requires a bit of hackery to emit a
instruction sequence that implements this using a sequence of ADD/LDR
instructions.
