Fix unaligned accesses in back_edge tables.
This patch fixes the step size of masm->pc_ in back_edge tables to words (4 bytes) to ensure 4 bytes alignment for read/write operations. Read and write of words (4 bytes) data from aligned space (address % 4 == 0) is more efficient on all platforms and especially on MIPS where without this alignment fix a kernel exception handler is used for every unaligned access. This patch increases the size of back_edge tables by 3 bytes in every row. By the test it seem the back_edge table quite small in every/most cases (maximal length is 18 so in that case there are only 54 additional bytes with this patch).
