[release/6.0] [AOT] Use .short directive instead of .hword
#64637
Conversation

Xamarin.Android is trying to (partially) switch to LLVM-based toolchain and it appears that the `llvm-mc` assembler doesn't accept `.hword` as a valid directive for x86 targets. Since it's an alias for `.short`, which works fine, the change should be safe across all the architectures supported by AOT.
