[PATCH 1/2] Documentation: riscv: uabi: Clarify ISA spec version for canonical order

Specify that chapter 27 refers to version 20191213 of the RISC-V ISA
Unprivileged Architecture. The chapter numbering differs across
specification versions - for example, in version 20250508, the ISA
Extension Naming Conventions is chapter 36, not chapter 27.

Historical versions of the RISC-V specification can be found via Link [1].

 The canonical order of ISA extension names in the ISA string is defined in

 The specification uses vague wording, such as should, when it comes to ordering,
 so for our purposes the following rules apply:
