[PATCH v6 0/3] Add riscv semihosting support in u-boot

Semihosting is a mechanism that enables code running on
a target to communicate and use the Input/Output
facilities on a host computer that is running a debugger.
This patchset adds support for semihosting in u-boot
for RISCV64 targets.

CHANGES since v5:
- Removed patch 3/3: default enablement of semihosting removed
for the qemu-riscv64 targets due to failure of the CI test-cases.
This is happening due to the qemu version and some commits
currently not taken into qemu latest version.
- Added patch 3/3: Added a 3rd patch which adds a dependency on
SPL_SEMIHOSTING for the SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME config option.
This will remove the need for the user to enable any of the
SPL_FS_EXT4 || SPL_FS_FAT || SPL_FS_SQUASHFS config options
for SPL_SEMIHOSTING compilations.
