Add support for iOS sample app to publish and run with R2R on coreclr

[elinor-fung]

Runtime:

• Stop disabling R2R by default on Apple mobile
• Update runtime to interpret everything on Apple moblie

iOS sample app:

• Update AppleAppBuilder host template to use host_runtime_contract
• Use in-build crossgen2 and in-repo targets when publishing iOS app
• Make AppleAppBuilder sign *.r2r.dylib

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds support for publishing and running iOS sample apps with ReadyToRun (R2R) compilation on CoreCLR. The implementation updates the AppleAppBuilder host template to use the new host_runtime_contract API for loading R2R composite images, configures the build system to use in-repo crossgen2 tools with Mach-O format support, and enables code signing for R2R dylib files.

Key changes:

• Implement native code loading callback via get_native_code_data to support R2R composite images on iOS
• Configure build system to use in-build crossgen2 with Mach-O container format for R2R
• Update environment variables to set DOTNET_InterpMode=1 when R2R is enabled

Could we enable interpreter + R2R in the iOS.Simulator.CoreCLR.Interpreter.Test.csproj functional test in CI? This requires setting the same properties and items used in the sample app.

With your suggestion in #121824 (comment), interpreter + R2R is enabled by default now. That test itself won't publish as R2R, but it will default be able to load R2R images. I think we should have a smoke test that includes R2R, but separate from this specific change.

Edit: kept the InterpMode environment variable in the test, so for now R2R is still disabled in it. I'll revisit separately.

@jkotas@kotlarmilos any outstanding concerns here?

The parts that I understand LGTM.

@kotlarmilos should sign-off too.
