[PATCH -next v14 15/19] riscv: signal: validate altstack to reflect Vector

MINSIGSTKSZ alone have become less informative by the time an user calls
sigaltstack(), as the kernel starts to support extensions that
dynamically introduce footprint on a signal frame. For example, an RV64V
implementation with vlen = 512 may occupy 2K + 40 + 12 Bytes of a signal
frame with the upcoming Vector support. And there is no need for
reserving the extra sigframe for some processes that do not execute any
V-instructions.

Thus, provide the function sigaltstack_size_valid() to validate its size
based on current allocation status of supported extensions.
