Add RISC-V support
I added RISC-V architecture support on linux by parsing /proc/cpuinfo. It has been tested using QEMU emulator.
I have done the following points:
- features detection (i kept it as a single letter, is it fine or do i have to replace it with its description?)
- microarchitecture detection (i'm not sure if it's correct, so check it carefully)
- vendor detection Tests have been added as well
Ok @michael-roe, Do I have to support these extensions as well?
Probably ought to support all the user space ones. The supervisor state ones (starting with S) are less relevant to user space programs that call cpu_features, so can probably leave those out.
Hi @DaniAffCH are you still interested in contributing to this branch? I can take it over if you want.
Hi @gchatelet, yes I'm still interested in contributing to this project but I have a really busy period, so I'm unable to fix the PR issues, I'll do it as soon as I'm free though. If you want to keep the PR list clean feel free to close my PR and I'll open it again when I'm ready.

Ok no worries. I've started #287 based on this PR to retain your original work (I hope you don't mind!). I'm now working on fixing the comments we've made. Thx to @Mizux we also have a running CI for RISC-V 💪.

Ok, good job! I can probably be back active in 2 weeks. Please keep track of the problems you have fixed (or I'm gonna figure it out from your commits).
Merged as part of #287 . Thx a lot @DaniAffCH for the initial implementation and research, this helped !
