riscv: errata: Add Andes alternative ports

Add required ports of the Alternative scheme for Andes CPU cores.

I/O Coherence Port (IOCP) provides an AXI interface for connecting external
non-caching masters, such as DMA controllers. IOCP is a specification
option and is disabled on the Renesas RZ/Five SoC due to this reason cache
management needs a software workaround.

riscv: Fix relocatable kernels with early alternatives using -fno-pie

Early alternatives are called with the mmu disabled, and then should not
access any global symbols through the GOT since it requires relocations,
relocations that we do before but *virtually*. So only use medany code
model for this early code.

riscv: add memory-type errata for T-Head

Some current cpus based on T-Head cores implement memory-types
way different than described in the svpbmt spec even going
so far as using PTE bits marked as reserved.

Add the T-Head vendor-id and necessary errata code to
replace the affected instructions.

riscv: integrate alternatives better into the main architecture

Right now the alternatives need to be explicitly enabled and
erratas are limited to SiFive ones.

We want to use alternatives not only for patching soc erratas,
but in the future also for handling different behaviour depending
on the existence of future extensions.

So move the core alternatives over to the kernel subdirectory
and move the CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE to be a hidden symbol
which we expect relevant erratas and extensions to just select
if needed.

riscv: Introduce alternative mechanism to apply errata solution

Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 to apply the CPU
vendors' errata solution at runtime. The main purpose of this patch is
to provide a framework. Therefore, the implementation is quite basic for
now so that some scenarios could not use this schemei, such as patching
code to a module, relocating the patching code and heterogeneous CPU
topology.

Users could use the macro ALTERNATIVE to apply an errata to the existing
code flow. In the macro ALTERNATIVE, users need to specify the manufacturer
information(vendorid, archid, and impid) for this errata. Therefore, kernel
will know this errata is suitable for which CPU core. During the booting
procedure, kernel will select the errata required by the CPU core and then
patch it. It means that the kernel only applies the errata to the specified
CPU core. In this case, the vendor's errata does not affect each other at
runtime. The above patching procedure only occurs during the booting phase,
so we only take the overhead of the "alternative" mechanism once.

This "alternative" mechanism is enabled by default to ensure that all
required errata will be applied. However, users can disable this feature by
the Kconfig "CONFIG_RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE".
