Now that the RISC-V spec has started to be ratified let's update our
QEMU implementation. There are a few things going on here:
 - Add priv version 1.11.0 to QEMU
    - This is the ratified version of the Privledge spec
    - There are almost no changes to 1.10
 - Mark the 1.09.1 privledge spec as depreated
     - Let's aim to remove it in two releases
 - Set priv version 1.11.0 as the default
 - Remove the user_spec version
     - This doesn't really mean anything so let's remove it
 - Add support for the "Counters" extension
 - Add command line options for Zifencei and Zicsr

Thanks!  I'll look at the code, but I've currently got this queued up behind
your hypervisor patches so it might take a bit.  LMK if you want me to invert
the priority on these.  I'll probably be buried until the start of July.

We can remove the spec version as it's unused and has never been exposed
to users. The idea is to match the specs in specifying the version. To
handle versions in the future we can extend the extension props to
handle version information.

For example something like this: -cpu rv64,i=2.2,c=2.0,h=0.4,priv_spec=1.11

NOTE: This isn't supported today as we only have one of each version.

This will be a future change if we decide to support multiple versions
of extensions.

The "priv_spec" string doesn't really match, but I don't have a better
way to say "Machine ISA" and "Supervisor ISA" which is what is included
in "priv_spec".

For completeness I have also added the Counters, Zifencei and Zicsr
extensions.

Everything else seems to match the spec names/style.

Please let me know if I'm missing something. QEMU 4.1 is the first
release to support the extensions from the command line, so we can
easily change it until then. After that it'll take more work to change
the command line interface.
