This commit improves the RISC-V assembler by adding dedicated forms for vector arithmetic instructions using the .insn directive. These new forms simplify the process of encoding vector operations (OP_V and OP_VE) that might otherwise be challenging to express, making it easier for developers to utilize RISC-V vector capabilities.
