target/riscv: implement svade
'svade' is a RVA22S64 profile requirement, a profile we're going to add shortly. It is a named feature (i.e. not a formal extension, not defined in riscv,isa DT at this moment) defined in [1] as: "Page-fault exceptions are raised when a page is accessed when A bit is clear, or written when D bit is clear.". As far as the spec goes, 'svade' is one of the two distinct modes of handling PTE_A and PTE_D. The other way, i.e. update PTE_A/PTE_D when they're cleared, is defined by the 'svadu' extension. Checking cpu_helper.c, get_physical_address(), we can verify that QEMU is compliant with that: we will update PTE_A/PTE_D if 'svadu' is enabled, or throw a page-fault exception if 'svadu' isn't enabled. So, as far as we're concerned, 'svade' translates to 'svadu must be disabled'. We'll implement it like 'zic64b': an internal flag that profiles can enable. The flag will not be exposed to users.
