xen/riscv: introduce support of Svpbmt extension and make it mandatory

Svpbmt extension is necessary for chaning the memory type for a page contains
a combination of attributes that indicate the cacheability, idempotency,
and ordering properties for access to that page.

As a part of the patch the following is introduced:
- Svpbmt memory type defintions: PTE_PBMT_{NOCACHE,IO}.
- PAGE_HYPERVISOR_{NOCACHE,WC}.
- RISCV_ISA_EXT_svpbmt and add a check in runtime that Svpbmt is
  supported by platform.
- Update riscv/booting.txt with information about Svpbmt.
- Update logic of pt_update_entry() to take into account PBMT bits.

Use 'unsigned long' for pte_attr_t as PBMT bits are 61 and 62 and it doesn't
fit into 'unsigned int'. Also, update function prototypes which uses
'unsigned int' for flags/attibutes.

Enable Svpbmt for testing in QEMU as it is now mandatory for Xen work.
