BuildType options for Framework target

|

RoboVM application compiled into Framework has known issues running with debugger attached in XCode. In particular, it suffers from NullPointerException that might happen in Java code, even in try/catch section:

    @Method(selector = "hello")
    public static void sayHello() {
        String s = null;
        try {
            s.toString();
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

will cause:

RoboVM handles this case by intercepting SIGSEGV signal. But GDB intercepts EXC_BAD_ACCESS and doesn’t allow it to go System level where it causes SIGSEGV. To co-work with GDB RoboVM includes robovm-debug module that is being linked for Run configuration and does as written in comments:

Experiment 3: XrOS (Vision OS) support

|

Experiment 3 of RoboVMx started to play with additional platforms (such as TvOS). There was an interest for use RoboVM with XrOS project in gitter recently and this looks like a good point to kick off this experiment.
VisionOS SKS are mostly swift based and this a problem to provide bindings to RoboVM. But anyway its good point to just get RoboVM Java VM code running in RxOS environment. And first stage is to allow RoboVM to be available in Xcode project as framework.

Seamless XCFramework support

|

XCFramework is a distributable binary package that contains variants of binary framework or library built for different platforms/cpu architectures. Introduced in Xcode11. Also, it solves problem packaging Arm64 and Arm64-simulator binaries into Fat framework/library. RoboVM had workaround for two year already to framework path for different architectures. But it requires manual preparation.copying for each framework and a bit annoying. PR694 introduced two options to improve the usability:

1. Direct reference in <xcFrameworks>
