Darwin opmask clobbering bug was fixed in kernel version 21.3.0
as released in MacOS 12.2.0. This commit resolves issue by
checking for Darwin AVX512 support via a sysctl call with the
addition of a kernel minimum version check.
The kernel version check is completed without adding new
dependencies to x/sys/cpu. A sysctl call is accomplished by
copying a minimal amount of code from x/sys/unix, to retrieve
only the needed KERN_OSRELEASE value. This code is structured
in the same manner as an existing analogous AIX/PPC64 syscall.
The resulting dotted version string value is then parsed for
numeric comparison with a dependency free function.
All code in this contribution is structured to ease removal of
the special darwin/amd64 codepaths when that OS/arch combination
is eventually no longer supported by golang.
Resolves issue: golang/go#49233, reinstates fix for issue: golang/go#43089

Summary: On darwin/amd64, it is not adequate to use OSXSAVE
bits to determine AVX512 availabilty. The reason is involved.
See github issue for details.
The fix consists of implementing Apple's recommended approach
using the process commpage cpu_capabilities bits to determine
availability of AVX512.
