I didn't do a good job at explaining exactly what's happening here. The
config option "PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_SVPBMT" most closely
follows the semantics of what "RISCV_ISA_SVPBMT" previously was. This
patch changes "RISCV_ISA_SVPBMT" to mean that either
PLATFORM_MAY_SUPPORT_RISCV_ISA_SVPBMT or
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_RISCV_ISA_SVNAPOT was selected.
