cpu: conditionally re-enable AVX512 support on darwin/amd64

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
