[ELPA] New package: system-packages

[Alex Branham]

Hello -

I'd like to add system-packages[1] to GNU ELPA. system-packages acts as
a sort of "rosetta stone" for package managers, meaning instead of
needing to remember if it's "apt-get install X" or "pacman -S X" or
"guix package -i X", you can do M-x system-packages-install X. There are
other similar commands like system-packages-update,
system-packages-search, etc.

I don't have push access to ELPA, so someone will need to actually add
it for me. Wh

Thanks,
Alex
