Updated the implementation to closely match the __riscv_restore_N entry points.

It was pointed out in the RISC-V LLVM sync-up that these entry points could be in separate sections to allow -gc-sections to remove any unnecessary entry points. This would mitigate the code size penalty for small programs as only the required entry points would be pulled in, however it would require the linker script to behave and not reorder the sections, and would require some changes to ensure that the fallthrough function does not accidentally get collected.

Jim Wilson's [draft GNU implementation][1] has CFI directives. IIRC we also didn't add them to the non-tail Compiler-RT implementation but it would be good to take this opportunity to add them here.

Remove the "/9/8"?

Added CFI directives to the __riscv_restore_tailcall_<N> functions

LGTM. (Don't forget to address my old nit comment, "Remove the /9/8", before merging)
Let's discuss on D91719 when this work should be merged.

Maybe update the description to reflect tail call, if it fits.
