[RISCV] Add support for RISC-V Pointer Masking (#79929)
This patch implements the v0.8.1 specification. This patch reports version 0.8 in llvm since `RISCVISAInfo::ExtensionVersion` only has a `Major` and `Minor` version number. This patch includes includes support of the `Ssnpm`, `Smnpm`, `Smmpm`, `Sspm` and `Supm` extensions that make up RISC-V pointer masking. All of these extensions require emitting attribute containing correct `march` string. `Ssnpm`, `Smnpm`, `Smmpm` extensions introduce a 2-bit WARL field (PMM). The extension does not specify how PMM is set, and therefore this patch does not need to address this. One example of how it *could* be set is using the Zicsr instructions to update the PMM bits of the described registers. The full specification can be found at https://github.com/riscv/riscv-j-extension/blob/master/zjpm-spec.pdf
