Matthew Brecknell b2ad98214d avoid passing extra_caps_t by value
The RISC-V calling convention specifies that when a C function takes an
argument by value, the binary function should take the argument by
reference, if the value is larger than 2 pointer words.

For binary verification, we avoid implementing this aspect of the RISC-V
calling convention, by eliminating all such function arguments for
functions which are not inlined.

In this commit, we remove `extra_caps_t` function arguments. This
primarily concerns invocation decode functions. Since `loookupExtraCaps`
already stores extra caps in a global `current_extra_caps`, this
essentially amounts to eliminating many redundant structure copy
operations.

On some execution paths involving IPC, the extra caps lookup may happen
twice: first in the invocation decode, and then for cap transfer in the
performance phase of the IPC operation. Because the two phases are
entirely distinct, there is no interference in the use of a common
global variable.

Even though we are primarily concerned with RISC-V, we remove
`extra_caps_t` arguments across all architectures.
