riscv: Implement Shadow Call Stack

Implement CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK for RISC-V. When enabled, the
compiler injects instructions to all non-leaf C functions to
store the return address to the shadow stack and unconditionally
load it again before returning, which makes it harder to corrupt
the return address through a stack overflow, for example.

The active shadow call stack pointer is stored in the gp
register, which makes SCS incompatible with gp relaxation. Use
--no-relax-gp to ensure gp relaxation is disabled and disable
global pointer loading.  Add SCS pointers to struct thread_info,
implement SCS initialization, and task switching
