[PATCH v3] RISC-V: Add CONFIG_{NON,}PORTABLE

From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer at rivosinc.com>

The RISC-V port has collected a handful of options that are
fundamentally non-portable.  To prevent users from shooting themselves
in the foot, hide them all behind a config entry that explicitly calls
out that non-portable binaries may be produced.

Changes since v2:

* Update the nommu and rv32 defconfigs.  I'm still getting some ugliness
  like

    $ make.riscv rv32_defconfig
    *** Default configuration is based on 'defconfig'
    #
    # configuration written to .config
    #
    Using .config as base
    Merging ./arch/riscv/configs/32-bit.config
    Value of CONFIG_PORTABLE is redefined by fragment ./arch/riscv/configs/32-bit.config:
    Previous value: CONFIG_PORTABLE=y
    New value: # CONFIG_PORTABLE is not set
    
    Value of CONFIG_NONPORTABLE is redefined by fragment ./arch/riscv/configs/32-bit.config:
    Previous value: # CONFIG_NONPORTABLE is not set
    New value: CONFIG_NONPORTABLE=y
    
    #
    # merged configuration written to .config (needs make)
    #
    .config:3831:warning: override: ARCH_RV32I changes choice state
    #
    # configuration written to .config
    #

  not sure if there's a better way to do this.

Changes since v1:

* Fix a bunch of spelling mistakes.
* Move NONPORTABLE under the "Platform type" sub-heading.
* Fix the rv32i dependency.
