[PATCH v2 20/27] riscv/traps: Introduce software check exception

zicfiss / zicfilp introduces a new exception to priv isa `software check
exception` with cause code = 18. This patch implements software check exception.

Additionally it implements a cfi violation handler which checks for code in xtval
If xtval=2, it means that sw check exception happened because of an indirect
branch not landing on 4 byte aligned PC or not landing on `lpad` instruction or
label value embedded in `lpad` not matching label value setup in `x7`.
If xtval=3, it means that sw check exception happened because of mismatch between
link register (x1 or x5) and top of shadow stack (on execution of `sspopchk`)

In case of cfi violation, SIGSEGV is raised with code=SEGV_CPERR. SEGV_CPERR was
introduced by x86 shadow stack patches.
