Commit 891eb3b0 was fixing an issue with PS and EPC1 not being
preserved after the window spill procedure. It did so by saving PS in
a2 and EPC1 in a4. However the a4 register may be a live register of
another window in the call stack, and if it is overwritten and then
spilled to the stack, then the corresponding register value will end
up being corrupted. In practice the problem would show up as an
IllegalInstruction exception, when trying to return from a function
when a0 value was 0x40020.
Fix by using a0 register instead of a4 as scratch. Also fix a comment
about xthal_save_extra_nw, as this function in fact doesn't clobber
a4 or a5 because XCHAL_NCP_NUM_ATMPS is defined as 1.

CONFIG_FREERTOS_ISR_STACKSIZE was set to 2100 when ELF core dump was
enabled, which resulted in a non-16-byte-aligned interrupt stack
offset. This triggered "is SP corrupted" check in the backtrace,
terminating the backtrace early.
Fix the default value, and make sure that the stack is always aligned,
regardless of the value of CONFIG_FREERTOS_ISR_STACKSIZE.
Configurable option to use IRAM as byte accessible memory (in single core mode) using
load-store (non-word aligned and non-word size IRAM access specific) exception handlers.
This allows to use IRAM for use-cases where certain performance penalty
(upto 170 cpu cycles per load or store operation) is acceptable. Additional configuration
option has been provided to redirect mbedTLS specific in-out content length buffers to
IRAM (in single core mode), allows to save 20KB per TLS connection.
