[XM] Add release value option to msbuild/mmp to resolve XM 4.5 assemblies from system GAC
- This option "reverts" a C7 fix that prevented resovling assemblies from the GAC, which is unsafe
- If you use this option, you need to know what you are doing. The mono BCL and the XM BCL need to be compatible
- Use strictly puts you in the no support "you get to keep the pieces if it breaks" category.
This is because Mono doesn't build a libmono-profiler-log.dylib when
bitcode is enabled, so we can't support profiling + fastdev at the same
time.
Hopefully mono will fix this (see bug#41428) soon, in which case
this code can be removed.

* [XM] Teach XM's mmp tool to handle read only assemblies/native libs
- https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=41037
- mmp should also promote any install_name_tool errors to "real" errors
* Bump maccore
In cycle 7 we turned off, by default, the `dlsym` option (i.e. looking
up symbols for p/invoke) for tvOS and watchOS.
However we decided to wait for iOS to see if this caused issues for
existing code base. There has not been such reports (for tvOS) so,
for cycle 8, we'll turn it off (and use direct calls) for iOS.
If problems arise during the alpha/beta of C8 then we still can
revert this change easily.
Also bump maccore to get new test.

[monotouch-test] Add test to ensure mtouch properly links with CoreAudioKit when not using simlauncher.
It is apparently common to have references to assemblies that can't
be resolved when building apps with the linker disabled, so we need
to support that.
So add a custom reference loading step that only shows a warning
for unresolvable assemblies.
Also bump maccore to add a test.

[tests] Add test case for bug #40786.

Traverse directories to find the locally build XamMac directory
when DEBUG is defined (which is only defined in the csproj, which
is only built when running from Xamarin Studio, since the mmp we
ship is built manually in the Makefile).
When reading a plist using NSDictionary, getting a value for a key
that doesn't exist returns null.
This changed when we switched to using our own managed plist reader,
which returns an empty string if a key doesn't exist.
Unfortunately we have code that checks if CFBundleExecutable is null,
in which case we compute the executable name using the executable
assembly, but since we started getting an empty string for
CFBundleExecutable if the key wasn't available, we now ended up wanting
to create an executable named as an empty string.
This broke our bug-13945 test case.
The fix is to continue returning null if the plist key isn't present.
Watch apps are inside .dll (not .exe) and needs to be processed
differently (e.g. to register their content). The issue was that the
debugging symbols were not loaded by that code so it was not part of
the .appex for debugging.

mtouch only uses Xamarin.Mac to read plists, so change to use
our purely managed plist reader in Xamarin.MacDev instead.
That makes us able to change mtouch to be a normal command-line
executable (and project).
Which makes it logical to not mkbundle mtouch anymore,
it executes just fine with the system mono (and there's
no code to protect anymore either).
And since mmp and mtouch share some files, do the same
for mmp.
