Add a way to map different package names between package managers.

Damien Merenne requested to merge canatella/system-packages:add-package-mapping into master

A new system-packages-map variable is defined that maps a package name to a list of package manager / package name key values.

A new system-packages-pack function is added that fetches the actual package name for a given package manager using the system-packages-map variabl.

The commands functions are updated to first resolve the package name to the actual name.

For example: (customize-set-variable system-packages-map '("fd" (apt . ("fd-find")))) will make it so that on system where apt is the package manager, "fd-find" will be used while fd will be used on others.
