Hello everyone,

I'd like to introduce "zig" virtual package that will be satisfied by 
"dev-lang/zig-bin" or "dev-lang/zig" package [1]. The main reason is that 
compilation of "dev-lang/zig" requires a lot of RAM [2] (10 GB, which makes it 
impossible to build on x86 arch) and depends on LLVM, which can be a big 
problem for people who just want to upgrade "sys-fs/ncdu" (the only reverse 
dependency) or use this programming language on systems with small amount of 
RAM.

Thanks in advance,
