[PATCH 17/17] riscv: add vectorized strncasecmp

The vector implementation folds and compares both operands in
vector-length chunks using fault-only-first loads (vle8ff.v); vl is
additionally capped by the remaining count so it never reads past the
n-th byte and never crosses into an unmapped page.  The case folding
covers the ASCII letters A-Z only, matching the C/POSIX locale.  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.
