Formerly mksh

As the name mksh is more commonly associated with the MirBSD Korn Shell, this repo has been renamed from mksh to mkx. The same goes for the namesake script within.

Invoking mksh with mkx used to be the equivalent of mksh -b or mksh -i <interpreter>. But the with this name change, mkx was now made to work like mksh.
