Enable support for NativeAOT targeting iOS via opt-in feature #80905

Description

@ivanpovazan

Overview

Supporting NativeAOT on iOS platforms as an experimental feature in .NET8 would enable our customers to try the NativeAOT toolchain and runtime with their iOS applications, in order to benefit from advantages mostly concentrated around application size savings and start-up performance.
In .NET8 the default toolchain and runtime when targeting iOS platforms will remain to be Mono, while NativeAOT would become available as an option.

This issues tracks progress on the identified work required for enabling NativeAOT on iOS platforms. The work is organised and tracked with GitHub issues divided by upcoming .NET8 preview releases in which they should become available. Some of the listed items can be considered as user stories and will require further break-down of work, while the others are plain tasks.

NOTE: The breakdown of GitHub issues does not impose hard deadlines. If some of the functionality does not get upstreamed for a particular preview version, this issue will be updated accordingly.

                Overview

                Supporting NativeAOT on iOS platforms as an experimental feature in .NET8 would enable our customers to try the NativeAOT toolchain and runtime with their iOS applications, in order to benefit from advantages mostly concentrated around application size savings and start-up performance.
                In .NET8 the default toolchain and runtime when targeting iOS platforms will remain to be Mono, while NativeAOT would become available as an option.

                This issues tracks progress on the identified work required for enabling NativeAOT on iOS platforms. The work is organised and tracked with GitHub issues divided by upcoming .NET8 preview releases in which they should become available. Some of the listed items can be considered as user stories and will require further break-down of work, while the others are plain tasks.

                NOTE: The breakdown of GitHub issues does not impose hard deadlines. If some of the functionality does not get upstreamed for a particular preview version, this issue will be updated accordingly.
