[RFC PATCH v4 1/2] arch: riscv: cpu: Add callback to init each core

Add a callback riscv_hart_early_init() to ./arch/riscv/cpu/start.S to
allow different riscv hart perform setup code for each hart as early
as possible. Since all the harts enter the callback, they must be able
to run the same setup.
