We've decided to standardize on two flags for RISC-V: "-march" sets the
target architecture (which determines which instructions can be
generated), and "-mabi" sets the target ABI. We needed to rework this
because the old flag set didn't support soft-float or single-float ABIs,
and didn't support an x32-style ABI on RISC-V.
Additionally, we've changed the behavior of the -march flag: it's now a
lot stricter and only parses things we can actually understand.
Additionally, it's now lowercase-only: the rationale is that while the
RISC-V ISA manual specifies that ISA strings are case-insensitive, in
Linux-land things are usually case-sensitive. Since this flag can be
used to determine library paths, we didn't want to bake some
case-insensitivity in there that would case trouble later.
This patch implements these two new flags and removes the old flags that
could conflict with these. There wasn't a RISC-V release before, so we
want to just support a clean flag set.
