Add special Mac Catalyst values for mtriple to MonoAOTCompiler.props (d…

…otnet#57687)

Effectively, we are correctly saying "build a Mac Catalyst app from runtime
and these `-llvm.o` files, but the `-llvm.o` files are not correctly being
built in a Mac Catalyst compatible way, resulting in the error

```
  ld: building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in object file built for , file '/Users/filipnavara/Projects/llvmbug/obj/Debug/net6.0-maccatalyst/maccatalyst-arm64/nativelibraries/aot-output/arm64/llvmbug.dll.llvm.o'
```

The target platform parameter gets passed around a LOT -
`src/tasks/AotCompilerTask/MonoAOTCompiler.props` specifies
`<MonoAOTCompilerDefaultAotArguments Condition="'$(TargetArchitecture)' == 'arm64'" Include="mtriple=arm64-ios" />`
which passes through to MonoAOTCompiler.cs task which passes through to
the `mono --aot=llvmopts=mtriple=arm64-ios` flag, which is processed by
`src/mono/mono/mini/aot-compiler.c` and eventually regurgitated as
`llc -mtriple=arm64-ios -march=aarch64`, which results in .o files which
lack the required annotations to be considered Catalyst compatible.

Thankfully, it seems that `llc` accepts `clang`'s `-target` triplet
values as valid for `-mtriple`, so passing through Catalyst specific
values for `mtriple` in `MonoAOTCompiler.props` results in .o files
which are correctly linked later by `clang` during the AppleAppBuilder
task.

It's slow though! 🙀
