[PATCH v4 2/3] lib: sbi: Enable Smrnmi extension handler

Introduce rnmi_vector_init() which prepares the hart for Smrnmi:

  1. Checks if the hart supports Smrnmi extension
  2. Writes scratch pointer into MNSCRATCH (same role as MSCRATCH for
     the RNMI entry path)

The function is file-static and called at the end of sbi_hart_init()
so every hart (cold and warm) initializes its own RNMI state before
returning to the firmware boot sequence.

Add set_rnmi_trap_vector() to struct sbi_platform_operations:

  int (*set_rnmi_trap_vector)(unsigned long handler_addr, bool cold_boot);

Use 'unsigned long' rather than 'uintptr_t' for consistency with the
rest of the platform operations interface. Platforms that support Smrnmi
must implement this; others can leave it NULL.

Add suspend/resume support for RNMI CSRs (MNSCRATCH and MNSTATUS) to
ensure proper state preservation across non-retentive suspend.

Note: This patch does not yet enable RNMI interrupts. The trap vector
setup and MNSTATUS.NMIE enablement will be added in the next patch after
the trap handler is implemented.
