UefiCpuPkg/CpuTimerDxeRiscV64: Add support for Sstc

Sstc extension allows to program the timer and receive the interrupt
without using an SBI call. This reduces the latency to generate the timer
interrupt. So, detect whether Sstc extension is supported and use the
stimecmp register directly to program the timer interrupt.
