Signed loads from arena memory are currently rejected on riscv64, as
bpf_jit_supports_insn() refuses BPF_MEMSX loads when in_arena is set,
while x86 and arm64 gained support for them in v6.18. Compilers such
as GCC-14 are free to generate signed loads into arena memory, which
breaks loading of otherwise valid BPF programs on riscv64.
Implement BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX support in the RV64 JIT by reusing the
existing arena handling: the arena base (RV_REG_ARENA) is added to
the source register and the load is emitted with sign extension
(lb/lh/lw). Add BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX to the add_exception_handler()
mode gate so that faulting loads get an exception table entry which
clears the destination register and resumes execution.
Verified by running the arena LDSX selftests (arena_ldsx_disasm,
arena_ldsx_exception, arena_ldsx_s8/s16/s32) on riscv64 QEMU, all
passing.

Now that the riscv64 JIT supports signed arena loads
(BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX), enable the arena LDSX tests on riscv64:
add JIT disassembly assertions for arena_ldsx_disasm (arena base in
s7, add into t2, sign-extending lw/lh/lb loads) and run
arena_ldsx_exception and arena_ldsx_s8/s16/s32 on riscv64.
