[mono] FullAOT compilation of Microsoft.iOS.dll crashes with managed static registrar

[ivanpovazan]

Problem

Managed static registrar - (MSR further in the text), is a new Xamarin feature being introduced via: dotnet/macios#18268

The feature is been tested in the PR and works correctly with .NET7. However, when using the current - .NET8 preview 5 version of the MonoAOT compiler and MSR, AOT compilation of Microsoft.iOS.dll crashes with the following error message:

mono-aot-cross(68995,0x1df9cdb40) malloc: Incorrect checksum for freed object 0x12674acd8: probably modified after being freed.
Corrupt value: 0x1311c010120041c

Repro

1. Merge: https://github.com/rolfbjarne/xamarin-macios/tree/msr into https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tree/main
2. Merge: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tree/main into https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/tree/net8.0
3. Build the repo:

make world

4. Navigate to MySingleView sample:

cd tests/dotnet/MySingleView

5. Build the sample:

../../../builds/downloads/dotnet-sdk-8.0.100-preview.5.23258.8/dotnet build -c Debug /bl /t:Run -r ios-arm64 -p:MtouchExtraArgs=--registrar:managed-static

6. The build should fail with:
