Subject: [PATCH] foundationdb: support aarch64-darwin

FoundationDB was Linux-only. It builds and runs on aarch64-darwin with a
few Darwin-specific adjustments, all gated so other platforms' derivations
are byte-for-byte unchanged:

- archive LTO objects with llvm-ar/llvm-ranlib (Linux uses gold + gcc-ar)
- drop -DUSE_LD=GOLD on Darwin (gold and --disable-new-dtags are ELF-only)
- point OpenSSL at .dylib instead of .so
- define FMT_CONSTEVAL empty: the vendored fmt 8.1.1 fails its consteval
  format-string checks under the non-Apple LLVM clang used here
- separateDebugInfo is Linux/ELF only

fdbserver, fdbcli, fdbbackup, fdbmonitor, libfdb_c and the Java/C/Python
bindings all build, and the binaries run (fdbserver --version reports
7.3.68). Verified with a sandboxed nix build producing all four outputs.
