RISC-V: Add pause hint instruction.

Add support for the pause hint instruction, as specified in the
Zihintpause extension.  The pause instruction is encoded as a
special form of a memory fence (which is available as part of the
base instruction set).  The chosen encoding does not mandate any
particular memory ordering and therefore is a true hint.
