alpha: Fix missing symbol versions for str{,n}{cat,cpy}

Origin: https://marc.info/?l=linux-alpha&m=167364720725291&w=2

Now that modpost extracts symbol versions from *.cmd files, it can't
find the versions for these 4 symbols.  This is due to the way we link
their objects together ahead of the full vmlinux link.  genksyms puts
their symbol CRCs in .str{,n}{cat,cpy}.o.cmd, but modpost only reads
the .sty{,n}cpy.o.cmd files.

Add assembly sources that bring the appropriate routines together with
include directives instead of using the linker for this.
