      UseRVV could cause crash on D1 board(RISCV-C906).

      It seems that though the D1 board is equipped with RVV-0.7.1[1] . In our test, VLENB CSR can return value of 16 on D1 board. So JDK will assume it can support RVV extension and crash in vector instructions when UseRVV is enabled.

      RVV-0.9 and above[2] introduce a new VCSR CSR register, it will raise SIGILL on D1 board. So we can check it to detect vext support.
