FPU context switching is always performed on demand through the FPU
access exception handler. Actual task switching only grants or denies
FPU access depending on the current FPU owner.
Because RISC-V doesn't have a dedicated FPU access exception, we must
catch the Illegal Instruction exception and look for actual FP opcodes.
There is no longer a need to allocate FPU storage on the stack for every
exception making esf smaller and stack overflows less likely.

The tp (x4) register is neither caller nor callee saved according to
the RISC-V standard calling convention. It only has to be set on thread
context switching and is otherwise read-only.
To protect the kernel against a possible rogue user thread, the tp is
also re-set on exception entry from u-mode.

When returning from z_riscv_switch, depending on whether the thread that
has just been swapped in was earlier swapped out synchronously (i.e. via
regular function call) or asynchronously (i.e. via exception/irq) we
will return to arch_switch() or __irq_wrapper respectively. Comment this
fact for clarity.

Assembler files were not migrated with the new <zephyr/...> prefix.
Note that the conversion has been scripted, refer to #45388 for more

Add the appropriate hooks effectively replacing the old implementation
with the new one.
Also the stackguard wasn't properly enforced especially with the
usermode combination. This is now fixed.

The move to arch_switch() is a prerequisite for SMP support.
Make it optimal without the need for an ECALL roundtrip on every
context switch. Performance numbers from tests/benchmarks/sched:
Before:
unpend 107 ready 102 switch 188 pend 218 tot 615 (avg 615)
After:
unpend 107 ready 102 switch 170 pend 217 tot 596 (avg 595)

Enable `arch_switch()` as preparation for SMP support. This patch
doesn't try to keep support for old style context swap - only switch
based swap is supported, to keep things simple.
A fair amount of refactoring was done in this patch, specially regarding
the code that decides what to do about the ISR. In RISC-V, ECALL
instructions are used to signalize several events, such as user space
system calls, forced syscall, IRQ offload, return from syscall and
context switch. All those handled by the ISR - which also handles
interrupts. After refactor, this "dispatching" step is done at the
beginning of ISR (just after saving generic registers).
As with other platforms, the thread object itself is used as the thread
"switch handle" for the context swap.
