Linux ABI implementation for macOS

Noah is a Darwin subsystem for Linux. Noah is implemented as a hypervisor that traps Linux system calls and translates them into Darwin system calls. Noah also has an interpreter of ELF files so that Linux binary executables run directly and flawlessly without any modifications. It's effectively a macOS Linux execution flavor, similar to that of FreeBSD Linuxolator, a.k.a. Linux emulation, a.k.a. Linux ABI. In other words, it's the reverse of the Linux Darling project.
