envcfg CSR defines enabling bits for cache management instructions and soon
will control enabling for control flow integrity and pointer masking features.

Control flow integrity enabling for forward cfi and backward cfi is controlled
via envcfg and thus need to be enabled on per thread basis.

This patch creates a place holder for envcfg CSR in `thread_info` and adds
logic to save and restore on trap entry and exits.

Should only be "restore"?  I don't see saving.

It's always saved in `thread_info` and user mode can't change it.
So no point saving it.

Also I'll fix the commit message. I think that's what you were pointing out.

This is redundant if we're repeatedly processing interrupts or exceptions
within a single task.  We should only be writing envcfg when switching
between tasks or as part of the prctl.

We need to use an ALTERNATIVE for this since the oldest supported hardware
does not have envcfg csrs.

Yeah fixing that in next series. Thanks
