[PATCH 13/17] riscv: add vectorized strcspn

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The vector implementation builds a 256-byte stop table on the stack (the
reject bytes plus NUL) and scans the string in vector-length chunks using
fault-only-first loads (vle8ff.v) with an indexed gather into the table,
so the scan never crosses into an unmapped page and the gather only
touches the fully-mapped table.  This provides significant performance
improvements on RVV-capable hardware.  Use conditional compilation to fall
back to the generic implementation when __riscv_vector is not available,
maintaining compatibility with non-vector RISC-V systems.
