[PATCH v4 1/1] RISC-V: Add platform property/capability extensions

Again, I'm not strongly object this decision but I'll note a background
before I forget again (and in July, before the thread tree in the
Binutils Archives website breaks).

My initial patch set (in 2022-11)
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-November/124155.html>

is approved by Nelson once.
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-November/124158.html>

But I decided not to commit it because I felt something in the RISC-V
Profiles specification will likely change (despite it being frozen; and
it did, 'Ssptead' was renamed to 'Svade' and 'Sscounterenw' was added).

I'm **not** going through using this approval since it's too old.  But I
will appreciate if you consider this a little.  As I replied earlier, I
can wait until RISC-V Profiles through "-march" is supported.

Thanks,
Tsukasa
