Subject: unscaledcycleclock: remove RISC-V support
Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/1059532
Origin: upstream, https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/commit/7335a36d0b5c1c597566f9aa3f458a5b6817c3b4

Starting with Linux 6.6 [1], RDCYCLE is a privileged instruction on
RISC-V and can't be used directly from userland. There is a sysctl
option to change that as a transition period, but it will eventually
disappear.

The RDTIME instruction is another less accurate alternative, however its
frequency varies from board to board, and there is currently now way to
get its frequency from userland [2].

Therefore this patch just removes the code for unscaledcycleclock on
RISC-V. Without processor specific implementation, abseil relies on
std::chrono::steady_clock::now().time_since_epoch() which is basically a
wrapper around clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC), which in turns use
__vdso_clock_gettime(). On RISC-V this VDSO is just a wrapper around
RDTIME correctly scaled to use nanoseconds units.

This fixes the testsuite on riscv64, tested on a VisionFive 2 board.
