There is a problem with the current elf loader for risc-v: when a pair of
PCREL_HI20 / LO12 relocations are encountered, it is assumed that these
will follow each other immediately, as follows:
label:
auipc a0, %pcrel_hi(symbol) // R_RISCV_PCREL_HI20
load/store a0, %pcrel_lo(label)(a0) // R_RISCV_PCREL_LO12_I/S
With this assumption, the hi/lo relocations are both done when a hi20
relocation entry is encountered, first to the current instruction (addr)
and to the next instruction (addr + 4).
However, this assumption is wrong. There is nothing in the elf relocation
specification[1] that mandates this. Thus, the hi/lo relocation always
needs to first fixup the hi-part, and when the lo-part is encountered, it
needs to find the corresponding hi relocation entry, via the given "label".
This necessitates (re-)visiting the relocation entries for the current
section as well as looking for "label" in the symbol table.
The NuttX elf loader does not allow such operations to be done in the
machine specific part, so this patch fixes the relocation issue by
introducing an architecture specific cache for the hi20 relocation and
symbol table entries. When a lo12 relocation is encountered, the cache
can be consulted to find the hi20 part.

* include: Introduce elf64.h and elf.h
Added elf64.h for 64bit ELF support and moved common definitions
from elf32.h to elf.h. Also introduced Elf_xxx to be used in
common libraries such as binfmt.
* binfmt, include, modlib, module: Add support for ELF64
Elf_xxx must be used instead of Elf32_xxx to support ELF64.
To use ELF64, CONFIG_ELF_64BIT must be enabled.
* binfmt, modlib: Add support for relocate address
* arch: risc-v: Add include/elf.h
* libs: machine: Add risc-v related files.
NOTE: Currently only supports ELF64
* boards: maix-bit: Add elf and posix_spawn configurations
* boards: maix-bit: Add support for module configuration
