under _GNU_SOURCE for namespace cleanliness, analogous to other archs.
the original placement in sys/reg.h seems not to have been motivated;
such a header isn't even present on other implementations.
commit ab3eb89a8b removed it as part of
correcting the mcontext_t definition, but there is still code using
struct sigcontext and expecting the member names present in it, most
notably libgcc_eh. almost all such usage is incorrect, but bring back
struct sigcontext at least for now so as not to introduce regressions.
the top-level mcontext_t member names were namespace-violating in
standards profiles before, and nested-level member names (some of them
single-letter) were egregiously bad namespace impositions even in
non-strict profiles. moreover, they mismatched those used in the
public API first defined in glibc, breaking any code making use of
them.
unlike most archs, the public API used in glibc for riscv mcontext_t
members was designed to be namespace-safe, so we can and should expose
the members regardless of feature test macros. only the typedefs for
greg_t, gregset_t, and fpregset_t need to be protected behind FTMs.
the struct tags for mcontext_t and ucontext_t are also changed. for
mcontext_t this is necessary to make the common definition across
profiles namespace-safe. for ucontext_t, it's just a matter of
matching the tag from the glibc-defined API.
these changes are split off and expanded from a patch by Khem Raj.
Rename user registers struct definitions to avoid conflict with the
asm/ptrace.h kernel header that defines the same structs. Use the
__riscv_mc prefix as glibc does.

This port has involved the work of many people over several years. I
have tried to ensure that everyone with substantial contributions has
been credited above; if any omissions are found they will be noted
later in an update to the authors/contributors list in the COPYRIGHT
file.
The version committed here comes from the riscv/riscv-musl repo's
commit 3fe7e2c75df78eef42dcdc352a55757729f451e2, with minor changes by
me for issues found during final review:
- a_ll/a_sc atomics are removed (according to the ISA spec, lr/sc
are not safe to use in separate inline asm fragments)
- a_cas[_p] is fixed to be a memory barrier
- the call from the _start assembly into the C part of crt1/ldso is
changed to allow for the possibility that the linker does not place
them nearby each other.
- DTP_OFFSET is defined correctly so that local-dynamic TLS works
- reloc.h LDSO_ARCH logic is simplified and made explicit.
- unused, non-functional crti/n asm files are removed.
- an empty .sdata section is added to crt1 so that the
__global_pointer reference is resolvable.
- indentation style errors in some asm files are fixed.
