    xen: Add Darwin.mk
    
    Xen does not provide a Darwin build configuration useable on Mac OS.
    It is possible to build Xen Hypervisor (tools are not supported) with a
    toolchain able to produce ELF binaries (GCC or others).
    
    Add config/Darwin.mk to include StdGNU.mk and force
    XEN_COMPILE_ARCH=unknown, ensuring Darwin builds always follow
    the cross-compile path so compiling on Mac OS is always handled as a
    cross compilation case.
    
    Only compiling the hypervisor has been tested !
    
    An example of how to build the hypervisor for arm64 on Mac OS
    (tools cannot be build for now) using a compiler from brew:
    - brew install aarch64-elf-gcc aarch64-elf-binutils
    - make XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-elf- HOSTCC=clang -C xen
