The 'BuildOnlySettings' target flips a switch that indicates we're doing a

this is where I ran into it).

First move the logic to compute the linker arguments for embedding
entitlements into the executable to shared code, so that it can be used from
platform-agnostic .NET code as well.
There is one difference: the code no longer checks if we're building for the
simulator, because the 'CompiledEntitlements' variable won't be set unless
we're in the simulator, so it's no longer needed (it's also not applicable for
Xamarin.Mac).
Also call the _CompileEntitlements target from the .NET build logic, and embed
the result into the executable.
This fixes the following 10 monotouch-tests:

* Use ItemGroup inside a target, since using CreateItem is deprecated.
* Use target batching to make sure the _CompressNativeFrameworkResources
target is called once per framework.
* Also add a comment for my future self describing the whole process, because
I'll forget this by next week.
The end result is that we will now only re-compress a framework if any file in
that particular framework changed (as opposed to re-compressing all frameworks
in a binding project when any of them changed).
Although the headers are present, the framework cannot be used since the
header references AVAudioSession and is a class that is not present in
MacOS X
.NET doesn't have any globalization support yet.

* Port the BundledResources test to .NET.
* Fix a minor issue in the BundledResources test to make sure it works on macOS.
* Add a unit test to make sure resources are bundled as expected.
* Modify the .NET build logic to bundle/unbundle resources.
There were 2 differences that had to be reconciled:
* The Xamarin.Mac version took 'IntermediateOutputPath' as the intermediate
output path, while the Xamarin.iOS version used
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath'.
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath' is defined to be
'IntermediateOutputPath' for Xamarin.Mac, so make the shared version use
'DeviceSpecificIntermediateOutputPath', since that works in both cases.
* The Xamarin.Mac version was writing the output of PackLibraryResources to
the FileWrites item group. This was removed on purpose from the Xamarin.iOS
version in e97d69b25c, so it seemed best to
leave it out in the shared version as well.
Also re-use the _EmbeddedResourcePrefix variable to determine the resource prefix.
1. Generate the partial static registrar code and ship it. This required a few
changes to mtouch and mmp to make them work in a .NET world.
2. Add a RegistrarStep step to the .NET linker, which will handle any
registrar logic, and implement support for the partial static registrar.
