Possible brew configuration for extensions #78

Thank you for this detailed PR!

This foreshadows the challenges we will have going forward as the number of interesting combinations of extensions increases. Initially, this repo tracked RV64GC which would be appropriate for application class linux. By turning on multilib to provide a couple flavors of RV32, we hope to help out some of the embedded community.

I'm sure some will benefit from this PR. I also worry, that the current setup (this repo) is not well set up to differentiate different installed extensions. What if this supercharged compiler was advertised as a different formula (perhaps riscv-gnu-toolchain-crypto) users could opt into it?
