packer: use XcodeProjectFormat for generate-xcode-project (#300 )

## What does this PR do?

Improves `xtool dev generate-xcode-project`. Instead of constructing an
XcodeGen project, we directly construct an xcodeproj (with the new
xcproj format) using
[apple/xcode-project-format](https://github.com/apple/xcode-project-format).
For now, we still rely on
[Tuist/XcodeProj](https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj) to translate it
back into a pbxproj for maximal compatibility, but this is treated as an
implementation detail.

Also adds support for resources and icons in the generated Xcode project

## How was it tested?

- [x] Generated a simple project, opened it, and ran the app

sdk: SwiftBuild support (#229 )

## What does this PR do?

Adds support for SwiftBuild on Swift 6.4.

We now point SwiftBuild to iPhoneOS.platform and rely on the real
[SWBApplePlatform](https://github.com/swiftlang/swift-build/tree/b30ee3c00abf34857084c26bb873c3da06348134/Sources/SWBApplePlatform).
We also do a little futzing to convince SWB to use our Darwin-compatible
toolset (lld, librarian, resource dirs). We explicitly _don't_ pass in a
Swift SDK because that would downgrade SWB to using one of the generic
platform plugins instead of ApplePlatform.

This also gets us a lot closer to parity with Xcode's behavior when
building for Apple platforms; we get the same build flags and
everything. We can probably achieve identical bundling too, if we take
control of the PIF.

One other change: since we need to pass custom env vars and such, we
can't rely on sourcekit-lsp's built-in SwiftPM integration anymore. We
thus create a custom BSP server that trampolines to SwiftPM's build
server with the right flags set. This effectively makes SwiftPM an
implementation detail, so we can start messing with the PIF.

## How was it tested?

- [x] Build with Swift 6.3 on macOS
- [x] Build with Swift 6.4 on macOS
- [x] Build with Swift 6.3 on Linux
- [x] Build with Swift 6.4 on Linux
- [x] BSP/LSP file creation works
- [x] LSP support works in VSCode

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added a `dev build-server` command for Build Server Protocol
integration.
- Projects automatically select the appropriate Swift build system when
supported.
- Packaging supports output layouts for Swift Package Manager and Swift
Build.
- Added options to skip language-server configuration when needed.

- **Documentation**
- Updated project templates and tutorials to use `.bsp/xtool.json` for
IDE features such as syntax highlighting and documentation lookup.

- **Improvements**
- Enhanced SDK generation and compatibility across supported toolchains
and platforms.
- Improved automatic language-server configuration while preserving
existing configuration files.

sdk: self-updating darwin tools (#110 )

## What does this PR do?

Allows xtool to auto-update the Darwin SDK format when there's a new
Darwin toolset, or when we change the SDK format. Downstream this also
allows us to auto-update when there's changes to OpenAppleMacros (#101).

One callout: the disk footprint of `darwin.artifactbundle` is now ~7 GB
instead of ~3 GB.

Reason: `xtool sdk install /path/to/Xcode.[app|xip]` now performs a
"normal" install by default, which preserves the entirety of
`Xcode.app/Contents/Developer` — even the bits we don't currently use,
like `AppleTVOS.platform`. This makes it so if we start using more
components in the future, the user doesn't need to download Xcode again
and rebuild the SDK themselves.

You can still build an old-style SDK (containing just the components we
need) using `xtool sdk install --slim` or the dedicated `xtool sdk
build`.

## How was it tested?

Tested all of the install modes. Confirmed that auto-updating works.
Added integration tests in #252.

Improve tmpdir management (#147 )

- We now have a single tmpdir "root" that can be recreated at launch to
clean up old stragglers
- The location of this tmpdir root can be controlled by `XTL_TMPDIR` or
`TMPDIR`. In general the path is `$TMPDIR/sh.xtool`.

With this change it should be possible to `export XTL_TMPDIR=/var/tmp`
if `/tmp` doesn't have enough space, which fixes #23.

Improve OpenAPI error handling (#78 )

- Make some enums non-exhaustive (closes #77)
  - Also a tentative fix for #62 and #64

We now use raw JS to patch the OpenAPI spec instead of openapi-overlay.
It's a lot more flexible this way.
