RISC-V: Introduce riscv_isa_extension_check



Currently any isa extension found in the isa string is set in the
isa bitmap. An isa extension set in the bitmap indicates that the
extension is present and may be used (a.k.a is enabled). However,
when an extension cannot be used due to missing dependencies or
errata it should not be added to the bitmap. Introduce a function
where additional checks may be placed in order to determine if an
extension should be enabled or not.

Note, the checks may simply indicate an issue with the DT, but,
since extensions may be used in early boot, it's not always possible
to simply produce an error at the point the issue is determined.
It's best to keep the extension disabled and produce an error.

No functional change intended, as the function is only introduced
and always returns true. A later patch will provide checks for an
isa extension.
