riscv: lib: add strchr() implementation

Add an assembly implementation of strchr() for RISC-V.

By eliminating stack frame management (prologue/epilogue) and optimizing
the function entries, the assembly version provides significant relative
gains for short strings where the fixed overhead of the C function is
most prominent. As string length increases, performance converges with
the generic C implementation.

Benchmark results (QEMU TCG, rv64):
  Length | Original (MB/s) | Optimized (MB/s) | Improvement
  -------|-----------------|------------------|------------
  1 B    | 21              | 22               | +4.8%
  7 B    | 113             | 121              | +7.1%
  16 B   | 195             | 202              | +3.6%
  512 B  | 376             | 389              | +3.5%
  4096 B | 394             | 393              | -0.3%
