[RFC PATCH v1 25/28] riscv/ptrace: riscv cfi status and state via ptrace and in core files

From: Deepak Gupta <debug at rivosinc.com>

Expose a new register type NT_RISCV_USER_CFI for risc-v cfi status and
state. Intentionally both landing pad and shadow stack status and state
are rolled into cfi state. Creating two different NT_RISCV_USER_XXX would
not be useful and wastage of a note type. Enabling or disabling of feature
is not allowed via ptrace set interface. However setting `elp` state or
setting shadow stack pointer are allowed via ptrace set interface. It is
expected `gdb` might have use to fixup `elp` state or `shadow stack`
pointer.
