RISC-V: capitalise CMO op macros

The CMO op macros initially used lower case, as the original iteration
of the ALT_CMO_OP alternative stringified the first parameter to
finalise the assembly for the standard variant.
As a knock-on, the T-Head versions of these CMOs had to use mixed case
defines. Commit dd23e9535889 ("RISC-V: replace cbom instructions with
an insn-def") removed the asm construction with stringify, replacing it
an insn-def macro, rending the lower-case surplus to requirements.
As far as I can tell from a brief check, CBO_zero does not see similar
use and didn't require the mixed case define in the first place.
Replace the lower case characters now for consistency with other
insn-def macros in the standard and T-Head forms, and adjust the
callsites.

RISC-V: Use Zicboz in clear_page when available

Using memset() to zero a 4K page takes 563 total instructions, where
20 are branches. clear_page(), with Zicboz and a 64 byte block size,
takes 169 total instructions, where 4 are branches and 33 are nops.
Even though the block size is a variable, thanks to alternatives, we
can still implement a Duff device without having to do any preliminary
calculations. This is achieved by using the alternatives' cpufeature
value (the upper 16 bits of patch_id). The value used is the maximum
zicboz block size order accepted at the patch site. This enables us
to stop patching / unrolling when 4K bytes have been zeroed (we would
loop and continue after 4K if the page size would be larger)

For 4K pages, unrolling 16 times allows block sizes of 64 and 128 to
only loop a few times and larger block sizes to not loop at all. Since
cbo.zero doesn't take an offset, we also need an 'add' after each
instruction, making the loop body 112 to 160 bytes. Hopefully this
is small enough to not cause icache misses.

RISC-V: replace cbom instructions with an insn-def

Using the cbom instructions directly in ALT_CMO_OP, requires toolchain
support for the instructions. Using an insn-def will allow for removal
of toolchain version checks in the build system & simplification of the
proposed [1] function-based CMO scheme.

RISC-V: insn-def: Add I-type insn-def

CBO instructions use the I-type of instruction format where
the immediate is used to identify the CBO instruction type.
Add I-type instruction encoding support to insn-def.

riscv: KVM: Apply insn-def to hlv encodings

Introduce hlv instruction encodings and apply them to KVM's use.
We're careful not to introduce hlv.d to 32-bit builds. Indeed,
we ensure the build fails if someone tries to use it.

riscv: KVM: Apply insn-def to hfence encodings

Introduce hfence instruction encodings and apply them to KVM's use.
With the self-documenting nature of the instruction encoding macros,
and a spec always within arm's reach, it's safe to remove the
comments, so we do that too.

riscv: Introduce support for defining instructions

When compiling with toolchains that haven't yet been taught about
new instructions we need to encode them ourselves. Create a new file
where support for instruction definitions will evolve. We initiate
the file with a macro called INSN_R(), which implements the R-type
instruction encoding. INSN_R() will use the assembler's .insn
directive when available, which should give the assembler a chance
to do some validation. When .insn is not available we fall back to
manual encoding.

Not only should using instruction encoding macros improve readability
and maintainability of code over the alternative of inserting
instructions directly (e.g. '.word 0xc0de'), but we should also gain
potential for more optimized code after compilation because the
compiler will have control over the input and output registers used.
