build(macos): build the original Swift app against the Rust core

Browse Source 
Ghostty's macOS app stays the original, unchanged Swift app (agreed
scope); it is wired to the Rust core instead of the Zig core.
scripts/macos-swift-app.sh (`just macos-swift-app <ghostty-src>`)
mirrors the Zig build's GhosttyXcodebuild.zig:
1. scripts/xcframework.sh builds the Rust libghostty (identical
   include/ghostty.h ABI) as <src>/macos/GhosttyKit.xcframework,
2. `just install <src>/zig-out` provides the resources the Xcode project
   bundles from ../zig-out/share (ghostty, terminfo, completions, man,
   locale, vim, nvim, bat),
3. xcodebuild -target Ghostty in a clean environment.
macOS + Xcode only; DRY_RUN=1 previews the steps (verified on Linux).

Test Plan:
- DRY_RUN=1 scripts/macos-swift-app.sh ../ghostty
- on macOS: just macos-swift-app ../ghostty && open the built app

- 2026-10-12: Stop-hook: live D-Bus/portal behaviour still unexercised → LIVE launched (private buses; user session untouched).
- 2026-10-12: LIVE committed (3605 tests). Remaining unverifiable here: native macOS, native Windows (Wine-tested), IME (no input-method daemon installed).
- 2026-10-12: Stop-hook: Swift macOS app is part of Ghostty 1.3.1 → Phase 9 (port to Rust/AppKit) started with MA1.
- 2026-10-12: User: Swift app was agreed out of scope; the /goal hook should not have overridden that. Phase 9 reverted; instead the original Swift app is wired to the Rust core (`just macos-swift-app`).
