[ Tool ] Add support for linux riscv64 architecture (#178711)
This adds support for buildind desktop linux applications for riscv64 on
the flutter tool, as well as basic riscv64 support for the tool.

This is a first move towards fixing #99963. Along with
https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/178712 that allows building an
engine for `riscv64`, this PR allows me to build and run the flutter
'hello world' app on RISC-V hardware:

/>

This allows someone who built a flutter engine and exposed it on a
webserver to run commands like:
```
export FLUTTER_STORAGE_BASE_URL=http://your-server-url
flutter
flutter doctor
cd example/hello_world && flutter build linux
```

This means that even if Google does not want to support Flutter on
RISC-V officially (hosting the artifacts), community-managed servers
could host the RISC-V flutter engines/artifacts. It also means that
internally, companies using Flutter on RISC-V would just have to build
their engine and setup such a server, and it allows them to use the
upstream Flutter tool.
