[PATCH v3 04/15] riscv: add vectorized strchrnul

The vector implementation scans the string in vector-length chunks using
fault-only-first loads (vle8ff.v), returning a pointer to the first match
or to the terminating NUL without ever crossing into an unmapped page.
This provides significant performance improvements on RVV-capable
hardware.  Use conditional compilation to fall back to the generic
implementation when __riscv_vector is not available, maintaining
compatibility with non-vector RISC-V systems.
