[PATCH v2 7/8] riscv: Kconfig: enable HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and HAVE_LIVEPATCH

Now that the metadata frame records, the kunwind state machine and
arch_stack_walk_reliable() are all in place, advertise the capability
to the rest of the kernel:

  * select HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE under FRAME_POINTER && 64BIT, so
    only the configurations that actually have the metadata records
    and the FP-based reliable walker enable it.
  * select HAVE_LIVEPATCH under the same condition and source
    kernel/livepatch/Kconfig so the livepatch menu is reachable from
    the RISC-V configuration.

This is split out from the unwinder change so the policy decision and
the implementation can be reviewed and reverted independently.
