[PATCH v4 21/30] 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.
