riscv: vector: adjust minimum Vector requirement to ZVE32X
Make has_vector() to check for ZVE32X. Every in-kernel usage of V that
requires a more complicate version of V must then call out explicitly.
Also, change riscv_v_first_use_handler(), and boot code that calls
riscv_v_setup_vsize() to accept ZVE32X.
Most kernel/user interfaces requires minimum of ZVE32X. Thus, programs
compiled and run with ZVE32X should be supported by the kernel on most
aspects. This includes context-switch, signal, ptrace, prctl, and
hwprobe.
One exception is that ELF_HWCAP returns 'V' only if full V is supported
on the platform. This means that the system without a full V must not
rely on ELF_HWCAP to tell whether it is allowable to execute Vector
without first invoking a prctl() check.
