Define a RISC-V cpu topology. This is based on cpu-map in ARM world. But it doesn't need a separate thread node for defining SMT systems. Multiple cpu phandle properties can be parsed to identify the sibling hardware threads. Moreover, we do not have cluster concept in RISC-V. So package is a better word choice than cluster for RISC-V.
