riscv: Add sysctl to set the default vector rule for new processes

To support Vector extension, the series exports variable-length vector
registers on the signal frame. However, this potentially breaks abi if
processing vector registers is required in the signal handler for old
binaries. For example, there is such need if user-level context switch
is triggerred via signals[1].

For this reason, it is best to leave a decision to distro maintainers,
where the enablement of userspace Vector for new launching programs can
be controlled. Developers may also need the switch to experiment with.
The parameter is configurable through sysctl interface so a distro may
turn off Vector early at init script if the break really happens in the
wild.

The switch will only take effects on new execve() calls once set. This
will not effect existing processes that do not call execve(), nor
processes which has been set with a non-default vstate_ctrl by making
explicit PR_RISCV_V_SET_CONTROL prctl() calls.
