- Renames the RISC-V operand descriptor `O4` to `O7` for consistency, as it describes a 7-bit field.

Re: [PATCH v2 01/16] RISC-V: rename operand descriptor O4
This patch renames the RISC-V operand descriptor O4 to O7 to better reflect that it represents a 7-bit opcode field. The renaming improves consistency with other operand descriptors (O<n> and F<n>). This change simplifies subsequent code modifications. Reviewers have indicated that the patch looks good.
