Proposal: an option to support create a mergeable library

[Binlogo]

In Xcode 15, Apple introduced the mergeable library feature to achieve app launch times similar to static linking in release builds, without sacrificing the benefits of dynamic linking in debug builds.

According to the Apple documentation: Create a pre-built mergeable library.

In Rust, since we can create an XCFramework from either a static library (.a) or a dynamic library (.dylib), we could potentially create a pre-built mergeable library for Apple platforms.

Further investigation is needed. A tracking issue on this proposal.

Looks really interesting. From what I can see, it only requires changing setting on the Xcode side when using the generated XCFramework.
