DMD port

[P Padil]

Dmd apparently doesn’t support Apple Silicon compilation, at least that is what is stated in their compiler docs. I still tried to compile the source but got an error message that it doesn’t recognize the system.  Noted that gcc and ldc compilers do support Apple arm processor.  I’m planning to update the gcc13 port to add D, and add a new port for ldc compiler (llvm based).
