This patchset adds support for the RISC-V Zvfofp8min ISA extension that
provides conversion operations for OCP FP8 formats which provide the
foundation for the future vector matrix extensions.

Ratification status:
- Zvfofp8min is currently v0.9 and is going through the RVIA ratification
  process. This series tracks the v0.9 isa-manual tag below.
- riscv-isa-manual tag:
  https://github.com/riscv/riscv-isa-manual/releases/tag/zvfofp8min-0.9

Zvfofp8min (v0.9):
- The Zvfofp8min extension provides minimal vector conversion support for
  the OFP8 formats. It requires the Zve32f extension and leverages the
  altfmt field in the VTYPE CSR (introduced by Zvfbfa) to select between
  E4M3 (altfmt=0) and E5M2 (altfmt=1) formats. Per the OCP FP8 spec and
  the extension definition:
  - Canonical NaN for both E4M3 and E5M2 is 0x7f.
  - All NaNs are treated as quiet NaNs.
  - Widening conversions are exact: no rounding and no exception flags.
- These conversions are the data-movement primitives that feed and drain
  the OFP8 vector/matrix compute pipeline.
- The LLVM RISC-V backend emits these instructions as of LLVM 22.1.0:
  https://releases.llvm.org/22.1.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#changes-to-the-risc-v-backend

Instructions:
  Extended (existing instructions taught to handle OFP8):
  - vfwcvtbf16.f.f.v   : OFP8 to BF16 widening conversion
  - vfncvtbf16.f.f.w   : BF16 to OFP8 narrowing conversion
  New:
  - vfncvtbf16.sat.f.f.w : BF16 to OFP8 narrowing with saturation
  - vfncvt.f.f.q         : FP32 to OFP8 quad-width (4x) narrowing conversion
  - vfncvt.sat.f.f.q     : FP32 to OFP8 quad-width narrowing with saturation

Verification:
- riscv-tests (fork https://github.com/riscv-software-src/riscv-tests):
  https://github.com/rnax/riscv-tests/tree/dev/rnax/support_zvfofp8min
  - Require LLVM 22.1.0
    https://releases.llvm.org/22.1.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#changes-to-the-risc-v-backend
  - Zvfofp8min test target: rv64uzvfofp8min/rv32uzvfofp8min
  - Both Spike and QEMU applied this patchset could pass the riscv-tests

Changes in v6
- Add patch 1 to fix the biased exponent write bug in the
  parts_float_to_e5m2() saturate path. FloatParts64.exp holds an
  unbiased exponent, so exp_bias must be subtracted when storing
  the max-normal biased exponent value.
- Initialize float_e4m3_nan_is_snan to false in riscv_cpu_reset_hold()
  to ensure consistent NaN handling for OFP8 E4M3 operations.
- Merge "Expose Zvfofp8min property" into "Add cfg property for
  Zvfofp8min extension" to keep the property registration together
  with the cfg field definition.
- Fix indentation of cbo.* opcode table entries in the disas patch.
- Rebase on riscv-to-apply.next (commit 267b5a2)

Changes in v5
- Drop Zvfofp4min which is not going through the RVIA ratification
  process yet.
- Fix typos.
- Rebase on riscv-to-apply.next (commit bf76a00)

Changes in v4
- Rebase on riscv-to-apply.next (commit 21101a7)
- Remove the softfloat library related patches (Thanks for RH's help to
  split this part)
- Add missing illegal ALTFMT SEW pattern checking for Zvfofp8min in
  patch 4 (target/riscv: rvv: Make vfwcvtbf16.f.f.v support OFP8 to BF16
  conversion for Zvfofp8min extension)

Changes in v3
- Add floatN_nan_is_snan to simply the quiet/signaling NaN checking flow
  in patch 2 & 3
- Add patch 4 to fix pseudo-NaN handling in FPATAN/FYL2XP1/FYL2X helpers

Changes in v2
- Merged v1 patch 2 & 3 to v2 patch 3, v1 patch 4 & 5 to v2 patch 4
- Added new v2 patch 2 to refactor the IEEE format NaN classification
  functions (float16, bfloat16, float32, float64) to use internal helper
  functions, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability.
  The OCP FP8 NaN classification functions follow the same pattern.
- Refactored softfloat implementation to use capability-based FloatFmt
  flags (no_infinity, limited_nan, overflow_raises_invalid, normal_frac_max)
  instead of monolithic flags
- Removed ocp_fp8e5m2_no_signal_nan and ocp_fp8_same_canonical_nan flags
  from float_status; now using local float_status with no_signaling_nans
  and default_nan_pattern for RISC-V Zvfofp8min instructions
- Rebased on latest riscv-to-apply.next with zvfbfa v3 patchset
