[PATCH v3 2/3] RISC-V: uapi: add HWCAP for Bitmanip/Scalar Crypto

userspace currently lacks a way to detect whether the
platform has Bitmanip/Scalar Crypto capability,
this patch adds an interface such that the userspace
can detect it.

RISC-V currently still has no mature mechanism,
but no matter how things in the spec changes,
(no matter how "M" mode things change), the kernel
still needs to offer some API to the userspace.

More discussion can be found at
https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/18197
In short, userspace currently has to use env var
to detect them.

This interface does not make any assumptions about the
underlying hardware
