    docs/riscv: sync required ISA extensions with required_extensions[]
    
    booting.txt listed only H, Zbb, Zihintpause and Svpbmt as required, while
    required_extensions[] in cpufeature.c also checks for I, M, A, Zicsr,
    Zifencei and, with CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C=y, C. As the panic message printed
    for a missing extension points to booting.txt, document the missing ones.
    
    Also add a section pointing to riscv_isa_ext[] for the optional extensions
    Xen recognises, and a comment above required_extensions[] to keep it in
    sync with the document.
    
    No functional change.
