riscv: Add prctl controls for userspace vector management



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).
