RISC-V: Minimal parser for "riscv, isa" strings

Browse source

Current hart ISA ("riscv,isa") parser don't correctly parse:

1. Multi-letter extensions
2. Version numbers

All ISA extensions ratified recently has multi-letter extensions
(except 'H'). The current "riscv,isa" parser that is easily confused
by multi-letter extensions and "p" in version numbers can be a huge
problem for adding new extensions through the device tree.

Leaving it would create incompatible hacks and would make "riscv,isa"
value unreliable.

This commit implements minimal parser for "riscv,isa" strings.  With this,
we can safely ignore multi-letter extensions and version numbers.
