This patch add two riscv-specific prctls, to allow usespace control the
use of vector unit:
* PR_RISCV_V_SET_CONTROL: control the permission to use Vector at next,
or all following execve for a thread. Turning off a thread's Vector
live is not possible since libraries may have registered ifunc that
may execute Vector instructions.
* PR_RISCV_V_GET_CONTROL: get the same permission setting for the
current thread, and the setting for following execve(s).

Add vector state context struct to be added later in thread_struct. And
prepare low-level helper functions to save/restore vector contexts.
This include Vector Regfile and CSRs holding dynamic configuration state
(vstart, vl, vtype, vcsr). The Vec Register width could be implementation
defined, but same for all processes, so that is saved separately.
This is not yet wired into final thread_struct - will be done when
__switch_to actually starts doing this in later patches.
Given the variable (and potentially large) size of regfile, they are
saved in dynamically allocated memory, pointed to by datap pointer in
__riscv_v_ext_state.
