[PATCH 06/17] riscv: add vectorized strcmp

The vector implementation compares both operands in vector-length chunks
using fault-only-first loads (vle8ff.v), detecting the terminating NUL and
the first differing byte in the same pass without ever crossing into an
unmapped page.  This provides significant performance improvements on
RVV-capable hardware.  Use conditional compilation to fall back to the
existing scalar implementation when __riscv_vector is not available,
maintaining compatibility with non-vector RISC-V systems.
