    RISC-V: Implement -m{,no}fence-tso
    
    Some processors from T-Head don't implement the `fence.tso` instruction
    natively and instead trap to firmware.  This breaks some users who
    haven't yet updated the firmware and one could imagine it breaking users
    who are trying to build firmware if they're using the C memory model.
    
    So just add an option to disable emitting it, in a similar fashion to
    how we allow users to forbid other instructions.

    I've just smoke tested this one, but
    
        void func(void) { __atomic_thread_fence(__ATOMIC_ACQ_REL); }
    
    generates `fence.tso` without the argument and `fence rw,rw` with
    `-mno-fence-tso`, so it seems to be at least mostly there.  I figured
    I'd just send it up for comments before putting together the DG bits:
    it's kind of a pain to carry around these workarounds for unimplemented
    instructions, but it's in HW so there's not much we can do about that.
    
    gcc/ChangeLog:
    
            * config/riscv/riscv.opt: Add -mno-fence-tso.
            * config/riscv/sync-rvwmo.md (mem_thread_fence_rvwmo): Respect
            -mno-fence-tso.
            * doc/invoke.texi (RISC-V): Document -mno-fence-tso.
