[mono] Update tests to be trim-compatible on ios/tvos platforms

[ivanpovazan]

By enabling trimming when building libraries and functional tests for ios/tvos platforms, we would greatly speed up builds on CI, lower the costs and improve user experience. With trimming enabled the configuration is also closer to what an end user experiences when building ios/tvos applications.

However, as some tests assume trimming is not enabled (e.g.: System.Runtime.Tests test suite has 11 failures on ios-arm64 device when trimming is enabled) we should investigate how to root required assemblies/tests to prevent these failures.

Disabled tests:

Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder.Tests.TraceSwitchTest
Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder.Tests.TestGraphWithUnsupportedMember
System.Reflection.Metadata.Decoding.Tests.SimpleSignatureProviderCoverage
System.Reflection.Tests.GetModuleVersionId_KnownAssembly_ReturnsExpected
System.Runtime.Tests.ShimsHaveOnlyTypeForwards

@kotlarmilos why did we reopen this issue?

[jkotas]

There are tests disabled against this issue.

I see thanks, I was confused as the original issue got edited and the description was not, so was wondering what is the current/end state of this. Additionally, some of the disabled tests seem to have separate issues:
e.g.: ShimsHaveOnlyTypeForwards -> #99592

We should clean this up.

[kotlarmilos]

Yes, there was a regression, and we want to re-enable it. It is a stale PR, but I will try to push it forward.
