[PATCH] RISC-V: Remove ptrace support for vectors

We've found two bugs here: NT_RISCV_VECTOR steps on NT_RISCV_CSR (which
is only for embedded), and we don't have vlenb in the core dumps.  Given
that we've have a pair of bugs croup up as part of the GDB review we've
probably got other issues, so let's just cut this for 6.5 and get it
right.

Fixes: 0c59922c769a ("riscv: Add ptrace vector support")
