arch-riscv: Add xret instructions

This patch adds the uret, sret, and mret instructions for use with
returning from user-, supervisor-, and machine-level code, respectively.
These instructions read the STATUS register to determine the previous
privilege level and modify it to re-enable interrupts at the old
privilege level. These instructions can only be executed at the
corresponding privilege level or higher.
