  Mark the ra register as undefined in _start, so that unwinding through
main works correctly.  Also, don't use a tail call so that ra points after
the call to __libc_start_main, not after the previous call.

	[BZ #23125]
	* sysdeps/riscv/start.S (ENTRY_POINT): Mark ra as undefined.
	Don't use tail call.
	* elf/tst-unwind-main.c: New file.
	* elf/Makefile (tests): Add tst-unwind-main.
	(CFLAGS-tst-unwind-main.c): Define.

Thanks.  Your original reply to my patch has been the top of my inbox for about 
6 months now but I keep getting interrupted before I can actually write up the 
patch.

GCC will emit an 'ebreak' when it sees unreachable code on RISC-V, for example

    $ cat test.c
    int main()
    {
      int *ptr = 0;
      return *ptr;
    }
    $ riscv64-sifive-elf-gcc test.c -O3 -S -o-
    	.file	"test.c"
    	.option nopic
    	.text
    	.section	.text.startup,"ax",@progbits
    	.align	1
    	.globl	main
    	.type	main, @function
    main:
    	lw	a5,0(zero)
    	ebreak
    	.size	main, .-main
    	.ident	"GCC: (GNU) 8.1.0"
    
Which results in a SIGBREAK instead of a SIGILL.  The decision here was a bit 
arbitrary, but I think we should keep it consistent between the hand-written 
assembly and the compiler-generated assembly.

Aside from that, this is great.  Thanks!

Pushed with that change.
