Support xcframework for mac catalyst builds.

[YUNQIUGUO]

Description

Motivation and Context

MAUI on macOS uses mac-catalyst which requires a different native binary.

• link to a generated artifact in the zip-nuget packaging pipeline for the xcframework that to be wraped up in nuget package: https://dev.azure.com/aiinfra/_apis/resources/Containers/18670471/onnxruntime-ios-full-xcframework?itemPath=onnxruntime-ios-full-xcframework%2Fonnxruntime_xcframework.zip

Still addressing a couple build failures and need to figure out a test for catalyst variant on the pipeline.

I know this is Work in Progress, but I'd love to get some usage instructions on how to compile this. I have managed to build a native framework, but I'm a bit lost on the invocations needed to build an ARM64 one, and also joining them together into a (preferably static) dual-architecture xcframework (which I assume is needed for building a Catalyst app).

PS. This branch/pull request alone saves us so much work it's hard to express in words. ❤️

thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the question, if you would run the command as something like python3 tools/ci_build/github/apple/build_apple_framework.py \ --build_dir "$(Build.BinariesDirectory)/ios_framework" \ tools/ci_build/github/apple/default_full_ios_framework_build_settings.json AFAIK with the support of this PR, it would already be able to generate an xcframework artifact and its structure would look something like:

- onnxruntime.xcframework
  - Info.plist
  - ios-arm64/
    - ...
  - ios-arm64_x86_64_maccatalyst/
    - onnxruntime.framework/
      - Info.plist
      - Headers/
      - onnxruntime
  - ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/
     - ...

And you can always adjust the build settings with the desired architectures (x86_64 or arm64)/ deployment target version via editing this config here: https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/blob/bff4f8bf75562704720624fac63b149d10042ac8/tools/ci_build/github/apple/default_full_ios_framework_build_settings.json

I was about to submit a bug report about missing symbols but you fixed it already via 1629aa9. :)

Once again, thank you so so much - you removed a gigantic roadblock in our project. :)
