Subject: [PATCH 1/2] impr: remove mergeable-library metadata from dynamic
 xcframework

Remove the `-Wl,-make_mergeable` linker flag from the xcframework
build script. This flag added LC_ATOM_INFO metadata (~7.6 MB per
arm64 slice, ~71% of the binary) that is only useful when consumers
link with `-merge_framework`, which SPM does not support.
