Recording interest in RISC-V support in gold and setting up a ticket for discussion.

The current RISC-V binutils maintainers are unlikely to have time to do this work anytime soon.  I'm hoping to get help from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, coordinating with companies inside China.  I mentioned the missing RISC-V gold port to them.  They weren't interested enough to take this project.  They chose to work on other projects instead.  There isn't anyone else I can ask.

There is some interest in a gold port, primarily from go users.  This is the last ask from them.
