Refactor CPU feature detection to use an explicit x86 whitelist (#258)

* fix(cpu_features): refactor architecture detection to explicit x86 whitelist

Currently, `cpu_features.cc` assumes any non-ARM architecture is x86/x64, which leads to a fatal missing `<cpuid.h>` error on architectures like RISC-V.
This commit refactors the preprocessor macros to explicitly whitelist x86 architectures (`__x86_64__`, `__i386__`, `_M_X64`, `_M_IX86`). All other architectures (RISC-V, ARM, etc.) will now safely fall back to the default zero-initialization, allowing cross-compilation to succeed.

* ci: Add RISE RISC-V runner

Introduce the RISC-V CI runner provided by the RISE project.
This enables automated testing and building for the RISC-V architecture.

"""Prove the GIL is explicitly released during C++ Query calls.
Strategy:
- Set switch_interval to 0.5s (100x the default 5ms). This means CPython's
involuntary GIL switching will NOT occur for 500ms after a thread acquires.
- Run queries that complete in total < 500ms (about 100-200ms).
- A background thread (using time.sleep(0) to avoid deadlock) counts how many
times it got to run.
- Calibrate per-query latency on the current platform (slow archs like
RISC-V can be 10x slower than x86), then dynamically pick a query count
whose total runtime fits comfortably inside switch_interval.
- Set switch_interval well above the projected total query time so that
CPython's involuntary GIL switching will NOT trigger during the run.
- A background thread (using time.sleep(0) to avoid deadlock) counts how
many times it got to run.
- Since total query time < switch_interval, the bg thread can ONLY run if
the C++ code explicitly releases the GIL.
- Reset counter just before queries; check counter > 0 after queries.
