Backport commit 79a83ddb08 (Apple: Enable linking during
iOS/tvOS/visionOS/watchOS toolchain inspection, 2024-11-14,
v4.0.0-rc1~471^2) to 3.31.
Since commit 11da882a12 (Apple: Introduce separate system name for iOS,
tvOS, and watchOS, 2018-01-15, v3.14.0-rc1~14^2~1) our toolchain
inspection steps, like ABI detection, tell `try_compile` to use a
`STATIC_LIBRARY` instead of an `EXECUTABLE`. This was needed at the
time to avoid codesign requirements. However, commit d3a64c4e3f (Xcode:
Explicitly turn off signing in try_compile projects, 2020-07-16,
v3.19.0-rc1~483^2) introduced a more general solution to that problem.
Restore linking during toolchain inspection so that we can detect and
identify the linker.

Fixes: #26443
Since commit 11da882a12 (Apple: Introduce separate system name for iOS,
tvOS, and watchOS, 2018-01-15, v3.14.0-rc1~14^2~1) we support setting
`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` to `iOS`. Existing iOS toolchain files already
set `IOS` as a short-hand variable, so do the same here.
- Remove code signing requirements for non-macOS
- Do not set deployment target for non-macOS
- Build static library for compiler feature detection for non-macOS
- Use framework to run CompilerId tests for watchOS
- Port tests to new SDK handling
- Add new Apple cross-compiling section to toolchain documentation
Closes: #17870
