[RFC PATCH 19/19] riscv: Add __riscv_cpu_relax() to allow yielding in busy loops

From: Christoph Müllner <christoph.muellner@vrull.eu>

The spinning loop of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP provides the hook
atomic_spin_nop() that can be used by architectures.

On RISC-V we have two instructions that can be used here:
* WRS.STO from the Zawrs extension
* PAUSE from the Zihintpause extension

Let's use these instructions and prefer WRS.STO over PAUSE
(based on availability of the corresponding ISA extension
at runtime).
