Remove support for the Smcntrpmf (counter privilege mode filtering) RISC-V ISA extension.

This ISA extension is quite handy for rich / supervisor-mode OS setups. But for embedded m/u-mode system it does not make much sense. Hence, this extension is removed (until we finally have S-mode support some day).

However, counter privilege mode filtering can still be emulated using the mcounteren and mcountinhibit CSRs.
