Use gnuconfig package for config file replacement for RISC-V. (#26364)
* Use gnuconfig package for config file replacement for RISC-V.

This extends the changes in #26035 to handle RISC-V. Before this change,
many packages fail to configure on riscv64 due to config.guess being too
old to know about RISC-V. This is seen out of the box when clingo fails
to build from source due to pkgconfig failing to configure, throwing
error: "configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one".

* Add riscv64 architecture

* Update vendored archspec from upstream project.
These archspec updates include changes needed to support riscv64.

* Update archspec's __init__.py to reflect the commit hash of archspec being used.

# Archspec (Python bindings)
Archspec aims at providing a standard set of human-understandable labels for
various aspects of a system architecture like CPU, network fabrics, etc. and
APIs to detect, query and compare them.
This project grew out of [Spack](https://spack.io/) and is currently under
active development. At present it supports APIs to detect and model
compatibility relationships among different CPU microarchitectures.
## Getting started with development
The `archspec` Python package needs [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) to
be installed from VCS sources. The preferred method to install it is via
its custom installer outside of any virtual environment:
```console
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python
```
You can refer to [Poetry's documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation)
for further details or for other methods to install this tool. You'll also need `tox`
to run unit test:
```console
$ pip install --user tox
```
Finally you'll need to clone the repository:
```console
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/archspec/archspec.git
```
### Running unit tests
Once you have your environment ready you can run `archspec` unit tests
using ``tox`` from the root of the repository:
```console
$ tox
[ ... ]
py27: commands succeeded
py35: commands succeeded
py36: commands succeeded
py37: commands succeeded
py38: commands succeeded
pylint: commands succeeded
flake8: commands succeeded
black: commands succeeded
congratulations :)
```
