RISC-V test case adjusted for vf[sz]ext.vf4 overlap

RISC-V test cases removed XFAIL markers due to changes in vf[sz]ext.vf4 behavior.

This commit removes the ‘xfail’ markers from two RISC-V test cases, pr112431-16.c and pr112431-17.c. The removal is a consequence of adjustments made to handle potential overlaps in the vf[sz]ext.vf4 instructions.

In Details

Test cases gcc.target/riscv/rvv/base/pr112431-16.c and pr112431-17.c no longer require xfail markers. This adjustment reflects changes in the RISC-V Vector extension handling of vf4 instructions, specifically related to register overlap scenarios for vfsext.vf4 and vzext.vf4.

For Context
vf[sz]ext.vf4
RISC-V Vector extension instructions for type-widening vector element extraction. '.vf4' indicates the operation affects four vector elements.
xfail
A marker in test suites indicating that a test is expected to fail due to a known bug or limitation. Removing it signifies the underlying issue has been addressed or the test condition has changed.
