Summary:
This PR makes it possible to build iOS applications with Hermes. Note that it doesn't work with `use_frameworks!` just yet.
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/27845 (by downgrading iOS deployment target for RCT-Folly to 9.0)
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28810 (as above)
Checklist:
- [x] Adjust release scripts to create Hermes bytecode bundle
- [x] Release new Hermes npm package that includes iOS files (unreleased right now, if you want to try locally, you have to clone Hermes and `yarn link` its master to this project)
- [x] Test on a new React Native application in both Debug and Release (Device)
- [x] Test on an RNTester application in both Debug and Release (Device)
- [x] Add missing `i386` to Hermes framework and enable Bitcode
- [x] Inspect CI failures for possible regressions
- [x] Resolve Folly issue as reported https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/27845 and https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28810
- [x] Release new Hermes and test against it that everything works

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/29914
Test Plan:
Turn on `hermes_enabled` to true in your `Podfile`, install pods, and run the iOS application. Your app should be running Hermes now.

Summary:
Microsoft’s RN for macOS fork supports the Hermes engine nowadays https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-macos/pull/473. As a longer term work item, we’ve started moving bits that are not invasive for iOS but _are_ a maintenance burden on us—mostly when merging—upstream. Seeing as this one is a recent addition, it seemed like a good candidate to start with.
As to the actual changes, these include:
* Sharing Android’s Hermes executor with the objc side of the codebase.
* Adding a CocoaPods subspec to build the Hermes inspector source and its dependencies (`Folly/Futures`, `libevent`).
* Adding the bits to the Xcode build phase script that creates the JS bundle for release builds to compile Hermes bytecode and source-maps…
* …coincidentally it turns out that the Xcode build phase script did _not_ by default output source-maps for iOS, which is now fixed too.
All of the Hermes bits are automatically enabled, on macOS, when providing the `hermes-engine-darwin` [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hermes-engine-darwin) and enabling the Hermes pods.
## Changelog
[General] [Added] - Upstream RN macOS Hermes integration bits
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/29748
Test Plan:
Building RNTester for iOS and Android still works as before.
To test the actual changes themselves, you’ll have to use the macOS target in RNTester in the macOS fork, or create a new application from `master`:
