[PATCH 0/4] riscv: Separate vendor extensions from standard extensions

All extensions, both standard and vendor, live in one struct
"riscv_isa_ext". There is currently one vendor extension, xandespmu, but
it is likely that more vendor extensions will be added to the kernel in
the future. As more vendor extensions (and standard extensions) are
added, riscv_isa_ext will become more bloated with a mix of vendor and
standard extensions.

This also allows each vendor to be conditionally enabled through
Kconfig.

This has been split out from the previous series that contained the
addition of xtheadvector due to lack of reviews. The xtheadvector
support will be posted again separately from this.

The reviewed-bys on "riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to detect vendor extensions"
and "riscv: Introduce vendor variants of extension helpers" have been
dropped in this series. The majority of the code is the same in these
patches, but thead-specific code is swapped out with andes-specific
code. The changes are minimal, but I decided to drop the reviews in case
I inadvertently introduced issues.

The alternative patching code from "riscv: Introduce vendor variants of
extension helpers" has been migrated to "riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to
detect vendor extensions" such that the andes patching still works in
that patch.

I also fix a bug in this patch from the previous series that the Andes
extensions were not being properly enabled due to the manual alternative
patching not incrementing the id to be greater than
RISCV_VENDOR_EXT_ALTERNATIVES_BASE.
