Christoph Müllner cdea67193d riscv: Add basic vector extension support
The RISC-V vector extension comes with an implementation-defined
number of bits per vector register (VLEN), which can be read out at
run-time using the CSR 'vlenb' (which returns VLEN/8) followed by a
multiplication by 8 (to convert bytes to bits).

This patch introduces a RISC-V capability 'V' to specify the
availability of the vector extension. If this extension is found at
run-time, then we read out VLEN as described above and cache it.
Caching ensures that we only read the CSR once at startup.
This is necessary because reading out CSR can be expensive
(e.g. if CSR readout is implemented using trap-and-emulate).

Follow-up patches can make use of VLEN and chose the best strategy
based on the available length of the vector registers.
