Chris Bracken ae41d5b3f7 [macOS] Deduplicate gen_snapshot creation targets (flutter/engine#36455) ...

Cleans up the logic for building gen_snapshot for macOS hosts. Also adds
a bit more documentation to the snapshot-related build targets.

Previously:
* gen_snapshot targeting macOS (on both x64, and arm64) were generated
  via the `create_macos_gen_snapshots` target.
* gen_snapshot arm/arm64 builds (on a macOS host) were generated via the
  `create_arm_gen_snapshot` target. The reason why this covers only
  arm/arm64 is simply that those are the only platforms we generate
  iOS/Android AOT builds for. x64 iOS implies a simulator build, but we
  only support debug builds for the iOS simulator, which aren't AOT
  builds, and thus don't require gen_snapshot.

These two conditions overlap in the case of arm64 (but not x64) target
builds. This separates the two cases cleanly. A later patch will merge
the two cases to use a single tool.

Note that NEITHER of these two scenarios mentions builds for macOS hosts
targeting Fuchsia. That's because this target is never invoked during
Fuchsia target builds. See:
