pkgsx86Darwin: init

Browse Source 
Many packages don't work on aarch64-darwin yet or are x86-only binary packages.

This gives aarch64-darwin users easy access to x86_64-darwin packages to run via
Rosetta 2.

"x86" was used as a short-hand instead of x86_64 because x86_64-darwin is the
only x86 Darwin package set.
