riscv-pac crate - Githubissues

This PR mimics the approach followed in cortex-m. The idea is to isolate those traits that must be implemented by PACs from other parts of our ecosystem that use them.

In the (very) near future, I plan to move the riscv-peripheral crate here for standard peripherals. These will rely on the traits of riscv-pac to provide functionality. In this way, it will be less harmful to add breaking changes to the peripherals.

So far, I added three main traits:

InterruptNumber: for external interrupts
PriorityNumber: for encoding valid priorities
HartIdNumber: for enumerating the HARTs of the RISC-V target

All these traits expect PACs to i) provide conversions to/from numbers and ii) specify the greatest expected value. The latter will help third-party tools such as RTIC to provide support for RISC-V targets.
