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
