This patch is derived from "config/riscv: detect presence of Zbc
extension with modifications".

The RISC-V C api defines architecture extension test macros
These let us detect whether the V extension is supported on the
compiler and -march we're building with. The C api also defines V
intrinsics we can use rather than inline assembly on newer versions of
GCC (14.1.0+) and Clang (18.1.0+).

If the V extension and intrinsics are both present and we can detect
the V extension at runtime, we define a flag, RTE_RISCV_FEATURE_V.
