As is widely known the T-Head C9xx cores used for example in the
Allwinner D1 implement an older non-ratified variant of the vector spec.

While userspace will probably have a lot more problems implementing
support for both, on the kernel side the needed changes are actually
somewhat small'ish and can be handled via alternatives somewhat nicely.

With this patchset I could run the same userspace program (picked from
some riscv-vector-test repository) that does some vector additions on
both qemu and a d1-nezha board. On both platforms it ran sucessfully and
even produced the same results.


As can be seen in the todo list, there are 2 places where the changed
SR_VS location still needs to be handled in the next revision
(assembly + ALTERNATIVES + constants + probably stringify resulted in
 some grey hair so far already)


ToDo:
- follow along with the base vector patchset
- handle SR_VS access in _save_context and _secondary_start_sbi
