RFR: 8316859: RISC-V: Disable detection of V through HWCAP

Some dev boards only support RVV version 0.7, while the OpenJDK only supports RVV version 1.0. These two versions are not compatible with each other. Given the V bit is set through HWCAP on some custom kernels, regardless of the version, it can lead to generating V instructions on boards that don't support RVV version 1.0 (ex: Sipeed LicheePi), leading to a SIGILL.

That is an acceptable workaround as only Linux Kernel v6.5+ supports V, and that version already support hwprobe anyway
