It seems RISCV was added in capstone version 5 (released Jul 2023).
Unfortunately they are enum constants so cannot check with #ifdef but
anyway we can define the symbols. Let's do it using the version
number to avoid build errors. It'll fail at runtime though.
util/capstone.c: In function 'e_machine_to_capstone':
util/capstone.c:186:25: error: 'CS_ARCH_RISCV' undeclared (first use in this function);
did you mean 'CS_ARCH_SYSZ'?
186 | *arch = CS_ARCH_RISCV;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| CS_ARCH_SYSZ
util/capstone.c:186:25: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
util/capstone.c:187:34: error: 'CS_MODE_RISCV64' undeclared (first use in this function);
did you mean 'CS_MODE_MIPS64'?
187 | *mode |= (is64 ? CS_MODE_RISCV64 : CS_MODE_RISCV32) | CS_MODE_RISCVC;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| CS_MODE_MIPS64
Also note that capstone renamed CS_MODE_RISCVC to CS_MODE_RISCV_C which
would cause a different build failure on latest versions. It's reported
in https://github.com/capstone-engine/capstone/issues/2977 so I think
they will add compatibility layer to prevent the error.

perf build: Fix compiler errors with old capstone
This commit fixes build failures on older capstone versions (prior to v5) by
defining missing RISC-V architectural and mode constants.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this code leak the map
reference?
When disassembling instructions with X86 memory operands using RIP-relative
addressing, maps__find() returns a new reference to the kernel section map.
Since this new reference is assigned to the local map variable, is there a
missing map__put() before the function returns or the loop continues? This
might lead to a resource leak and reference count imbalance.
