Carves out space in arch specific thread struct for cfi status and shadow stack in usermode on riscv.
This patch does following
- defines a new structure cfi_status with status bit for cfi feature
- defines shadow stack pointer, base and size in cfi_status structure
- defines offsets to new member fields in thread in asm-offsets.c
- Saves and restore shadow stack pointer on trap entry (U --> S) and exit
(S --> U)
Shadow stack save/restore is gated on feature availiblity and implemented using alternative. CSR can be context switched in `switch_to` as well but soon as kernel shadow stack support gets rolled in, shadow stack pointer will need to be switched at trap entry/exit point (much like `sp`). It can be argued that kernel using shadow stack deployment scenario may not be as prevalant as user mode using this feature. But even if there is some minimal deployment of kernel shadow stack, that means that it needs to be supported. And thus save/restore of shadow stack pointer in entry.S instead of in `switch_to.h`.

I didn't change this part yet. There are two comments from Radim here
1) Separate state of enabling/lock status from shadow stack pointer. Same goes for landing pad in later patches. I am arguing that since thread_info is already occupies two cachelines and there isn't any effort to manage it within single cacheline, I am not sure if it's worth the effort. Most likely comment is stale or doesn't have backed up data behind it. Furthermore whenever state of enabling is accessed, most likely shadow stack pointer, base pointer or size of shaodw stack will likely to be accessed as well. Thus having all that in colocated cacheline would actually be useful.
2) Convert enabling/lock status from bitfield to bool or accessed via bitmasks. I am agreeing to feedback here and will do that once we converge on point 1.
