Right now the alternatives need to be explicitly enabled and
erratas are limited to SiFive ones.

Over time with more SoCs and additional RiscV extensions, many more
erratas or other patch-worthy features will emerge, so it doesn't
really make sense to have the core alternatives able to get
deactivated.

So make it part of the core RiscV kernel and drop the main
RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVES config symbol.

This mimics how other architectures like for example arm64 handle
their alternatives implementation.

For minimal kernels like the k210 it would be really good to be
able to avoid any not strictly neeed code.  So I'd much rather
have the alternatives mechanism only built when it actually is needed,
not (semi-)unconditional.
