cpu: add support for detecting RISC-V extensions

Add a RISCV64 variable to cpu that indicates both the presence
of RISC-V extensions and performance information about the underlying
RISC-V cores.  The variable is only populated with non false values on
Linux.  The detection code first attempts to use the riscv_hwprobe
syscall introduced in Linux 6.4, falling back to HWCAP if riscv_hwprobe
is not supported.  The patch can detect the C, V, Zba, Zbb and Zbs
extensions.  V, Zba, Zbb and Zbs can only be detected on a 6.5 kernel
or later (without backports).
