Commit 4bf8860760d9 ("riscv: cpufeature: extend
riscv_cpufeature_patch_func to all ISA extensions") switched ISA
extension alternatives to use the RISCV_ISA_EXT_* macros instead of
CPUFEATURE_*. This was mismerged when applied on top of the Zbb series,
so the Zbb alternatives referenced the wrong errata ID values.

Add handling for ZBB extension and add support for using it as a
variant for optimized string functions.
Support for the Zbb-str-variants is limited to the GNU-assembler
for now, as LLVM has not yet acquired the functionality to
selectively change the arch option in assembler code.
This is still under review at

Depending on supported extensions on specific RISC-V cores,
optimized str* functions might make sense.
This adds basic infrastructure to allow patching the function calls
via alternatives later on.
The Linux kernel provides standard implementations for string functions
but when architectures want to extend them, they need to provide their
own.
The added generic string functions are done in assembler (taken from
disassembling the main-kernel functions for now) to allow us to control
the used registers and extend them with optimized variants.
This doesn't override the compiler's use of builtin replacements. So still
first of all the compiler will select if a builtin will be better suitable
i.e. for known strings. For all regular cases we will want to later
select possible optimized variants and in the worst case fall back to the
generic implemention added with this change.
