Re-enables the ZIHPM extension flag in the ISA parser to allow unprivileged performance counters (U-mode) in line with upstream Ibex support.
Changes:
- Enable
EXT_ZIHPMby default for backward compatibility. - Remove/replace the Ibex-specific comment that previously disabled ZIHPM.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

We are adding support for the U-mode performance counters in lowRISC/ibex#2403. Therefore, we are re-enabling them here as well.
