Pull Request Overview
This PR adds support for Mach-O format in Ready-to-Run (R2R) compilation, upstreamed from dotnet/runtime#121186. The changes enable R2R compilation for Apple platforms (iOS, tvOS, macOS, Mac Catalyst) by introducing a new container format option and a linking step to convert crossgen2's Mach-O object files into dylibs.
Key changes:
- Adds
PublishReadyToRunContainerFormatproperty (defaults to "pe", can be set to "macho" for Apple platforms) - Disables R2R symbol emission for all Apple runtime identifiers
- Implements a new
_LinkReadyToRunMachOtarget that links crossgen2-generated.ofiles into.dylibfiles using Apple's clang toolchain
