[PATCH 12/17] riscv: add vectorized strspn

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The vector implementation builds a 256-byte accept table on the stack 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.
