Depending on supported extensions on specific RISC-V cores,
optimized str* functions might make sense.
This adds basic infrastructure to allow patching the function calls
via alternatives later on.
The Linux kernel provides standard implementations for string functions
but when architectures want to extend them, they need to provide their
own.
The added generic string functions are done in assembler (taken from
disassembling the main-kernel functions for now) to allow us to control
the used registers and extend them with optimized variants.
This doesn't override the compiler's use of builtin replacements. So still
first of all the compiler will select if a builtin will be better suitable
i.e. for known strings. For all regular cases we will want to later
select possible optimized variants and in the worst case fall back to the
generic implemention added with this change.

The .incbin assembler directive is much faster than bin2c + $(CC).
Do similar refactoring as in commit 4c0f032d49 ("s390/purgatory:
Omit use of bin2c").
Please note the .quad directive matches to size_t in C (both 8 byte)
because the purgatory is compiled only for the 64-bit kernel.
(KEXEC_FILE depends on 64BIT).

The purgatory/ directory is entirely guarded in arch/riscv/Kbuild.
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY is bool type.
$(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KEXEC_PURGATORY) is always 'y' when Kbuild visits
this Makefile for building.

This patch adds purgatory, the name and concept have been taken
from kexec-tools. Purgatory runs between two kernels, and do
verify sha256 hash to ensure the kernel to jump to is fine and
has not been corrupted after loading. Makefile is modified based
on x86 platform.
