Adapt for RISC-V #560

VSEARCH could be adapted to run on RISC-V systems. The SIMD code would need to be translated to the vector capabilities of this platform.

Until we have actual RISC-V hardware available, we could use cross-compilation (with g++-riscv64-linux-gnu).

There are also RISC-V virtual machines (RVVM, for example).

And a small and cheap single board computer that could be used for development and simple testing:
