Provide experimental support for XCFrameworks for Linux for well-defined, identical, deployments.
Motivation:
Providing informal, experimental support for (very) heterogenous cluster deployments on Linux as discussed previously in #5714
It allows for deployments which use XCFrameworks and library evolution on identically patches / toolchains on Linux as an interim escape hatch until wider support might be available.
Modifications:
Enable XCFrameworks for Linux if the
_SWIFTPM_EXPERIMENTAL_LINUX_XCFRAMEWORK
environment variable is set.Result:
Users may experiment with library evolution and XCFrameworks on Linux without having to roll their own toolchains while waiting for wider support for shared libraries / evolution on Linux in general.
The default behavior remains unchanged and there should be zero impact for users who doesn't set this environment variable.
