Subject: [PATCH] Allow the iOS toolchain to be built on Linux

The iOS toolchain can be built on Linux with minor changes. The
compilation will invoke `xcrun` to find the path to the iPhone SDK but
a fake `xcrun` executable can be used.

```
#!/bin/sh
echo "/path/to/sdk"
```

The iOS toolchain can then be built and linked with rustup.

```
$ ./x.py build --stage 2 --host x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu \
  	 --target aarch64-apple-ios
$ rustup toolchain link stage1 build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1
```

It's possible to take this toolchain and compile an iOS executable
with it. This requires the ld64 linker and an iOS SDK. The ld64 linker
can be taken from
[cctools](https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port). A project's
.cargo/config can then be edited to use the linker for this target.

```
[target.aarch64-apple-ios]
linker = "/path/to/cctools/bin/arm-apple-darwin-ld"
rustflags = [
    "-C",
    """
link-args=
    -F/path/to/sdk/System/Library/Frameworks
    -L/path/to/sdk/usr/lib
    -L/path/to/sdk/usr/lib/system/
    -adhoc_codesign
    """,
]
```
