This change detects the presence of Zba and Zbb extensions and exports
them per-hart to userspace via the hwprobe mechanism. Glibc can then use
these in setting up hwcaps-based library search paths.

There's a little bit of extra housekeeping here: the first change adds
Zba to the set of extensions the kernel recognizes, and the second
change starts tracking ISA features per-hart (in addition to the ANDed
mask of features across all harts which the kernel uses to make
decisions). Now that we track the ISA information per-hart, we could
even fix up /proc/cpuinfo to accurately report extension per-hart,
though I've left that out of this series for now.
