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.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
