This enables Apple Silicon support to the arm64 installcd as well as dist-kernel support for non Apple users.

All packages which were marked as keyworded needed have been readded and stablereq sent where needed.

Due to lack of tester, I have left genkernel as a fallback as this has only been tested in a VM for now. Will discuss removal of genkernel at a later date.

This will remain as a draft until all asahi packages have been merged into Gentoo and remaining stablereqs have gone through.

Special thanks to @chadmed for creating and testing the asahi packages for Gentoo.

Due to lack of hardware testers I've kept genkernel on this image until
we are happy that no issues have been created in the switch to dist kernel.

Thanks to Chadmed and leio's work this commit allows Gentoo's arm64 installcd
to boot on Apple hardware.

Due to a quirk with how at least the Macbook M1 works we must always enable
asahi as the first choice kernel.
