riscv: signal: Add sigcontext save/restore for vector



This patch facilitates the existing fp-reserved words for placement of
the first extension's context header on the user's sigframe. A context
header consists of a distinct magic word and the size, including the
header itself, of an extension on the stack. Then, the frame is followed
by the context of that extension, and then a header + context body for
another extension if exists. If there is no more extension to come, then
the frame must be ended with a null context header. A special case is
rv64gc, where the kernel support no extensions requiring to expose
additional regfile to the user. In such case the kernel would place the
null context header right after the first reserved word of
__riscv_q_ext_state when saving sigframe. And the kernel would check if
all reserved words are zeros when a signal handler returns.

__riscv_q_ext_state---->|	|<-__riscv_extra_ext_header
			~	~
	.reserved[0]--->|0	|<-	.reserved
		<-------|magic	|<-	.hdr
		|	|size	|_______ end of sc_fpregs
		|	|ext-bdy|
		|	~	~
	+)size	------->|magic	|<- another context header
			|size	|
			|ext-bdy|
			~	~
			|magic:0|<- null context header
			|size:0	|

The vector registers will be saved in datap pointer. The datap pointer
will be allocated dynamically when the task needs in kernel space. On
the other hand, datap pointer on the sigframe will be set right after
the __riscv_v_ext_state data structure.
