Hesham Almatary 807283ba03 RISC-V: change pointer and stack types
portPOINTER_SIZE_TYPE is used in FreeRTOS to store both pointer and
integer values. Using a plain integer type for this purpose is unsafe on
architectures that distinguish between pointers and integers, where an
integer type (e.g. uint64_t) may not be able to represent all pointer
values.

The standard intptr_t type is explicitly defined to safely hold either a
pointer or an integer. This commit changes portPOINTER_SIZE_TYPE to
intptr_t, similar to the existing POSIX port, improving portability of
the RISC-V port.

Similarly, portSTACK_TYPE is used to store word-sized values on the
stack that may represent either integers or pointers, and is often cast
to pointer types. Changing it to uintptr_t makes this usage explicit and
correct, improving portability, intent, and safety for capability-based
extensions such as CHERI-RISC-V.

Each real time kernel port consists of three files that contain the core kernel
components and are common to every port, and one or more files that are
specific to a particular microcontroller and/or compiler.


+ The FreeRTOS/Source/Portable/MemMang directory contains the five sample
memory allocators as described on the https://www.FreeRTOS.org WEB site.

+ The other directories each contain files specific to a particular
microcontroller or compiler, where the directory name denotes the compiler
specific files the directory contains.



For example, if you are interested in the [compiler] port for the [architecture]
microcontroller, then the port specific files are contained in
FreeRTOS/Source/Portable/[compiler]/[architecture] directory.  If this is the
only port you are interested in then all the other directories can be
ignored.
