[PATCH v2 6/8] riscv: Add PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_ZBA Kconfig option

Zba can optimize kernel instruction sequences. Add a config option
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_ZBA that allows arbitrary Zba instruction
sequences to be emitted by the compiler.
The existing "RISCV_ISA_ZBA" option is repurposed to be used to by kernel
code to determine if either PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_ZBA or
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_ZBA has been set.
