[PATCH v3 11/11] RISC-V: provide Kconfig & commandline options to control parsing "riscv,isa"

As it says on the tin, provide Kconfig option to control parsing the
"riscv,isa" devicetree property. If either option is used, the kernel
will fall back to parsing "riscv,isa", where "riscv,isa-base" and
"riscv,isa-extensions" are not present.
The Kconfig options are set up so that the default kernel configuration
will enable the fallback path, without needing the commandline option.

Changes in v3:
- Invert the Kconfig entry. It's now default y & not hidden by
NONPORTABLE, but its entablement will now activate the fallback
- Add a commandline option to enable the fallback on kernels that do not
enable it in Kconfig, as Drew suggested
- Default the global var to the Kconfig option & override it with the
commandline one, rather than have checks for IS_ENABLED() and for the
commandline option in riscv_fill_hwcap() &
riscv_early_of_processor_hartid()

+ Parsing the "riscv,isa" devicetree property has been deprecated and
+ replaced by a list of explicitly defined strings. For compatibility
+ with existing platforms, the kernel will fall back to parsing the
+ "riscv,isa" property if the replacements are not found.
+
+ Selecting N here will result in a kernel that does not use the
+ fallback, unless the commandline "riscv_isa_fallback" parameter is
+ present.

+ Please see the dt-binding, located at
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/riscv/extensions.yaml for details
+ on the replacement properties of "riscv,isa-base" and
+ "riscv,isa-extensions".
