cmake: Allow static library framework builds for macOS and iOS

Browse Source 
Frameworks on Apple systems have traditionally been wrappers around
dynamic libraries (with headers and other resources bundled alongside
the library), but nowadays it's fully supported to have frameworks
with static libraries inside them.

Enabling this allows us to build Qt for iOS statically, but as
frameworks, which allows us to include privacy manifests for the
Qt libraries in the frameworks.

At build time Xcode will link the static library into the application,
as normal, so nothing changes there. If the user then chooses to
embed the Qt frameworks via the Xcode UI, the build system will
not copy the static libraries inside the frameworks, but will
copy the privacy manifest and other resources, which in turn
allows Xcode to generate a privacy report for the application
as a whole.
