Fix flutter run on Mac x64 hosts if Swift Package Manager is enabled (#154645)
### Problem

Enabling the Swift Package Manager feature caused post-submit tests to fail on Mac x64 hosts:

```

</details>

### Reproduction

On a mac x64 host:

1. Switch to the latest master channel: `flutter channel master ; flutter upgrade`
1. Disable the Swift Package Manager feature: `flutter config --no-enable-swift-package-manager`
2. Create a Flutter project
2. [Edit the Xcode project manually to add the prepare pre-action](https://docs.flutter.dev/packages-and-plugins/swift-package-manager/for-app-developers#step-2-add-run-prepare-flutter-framework-script-pre-action)
3. Run `flutter run` (`flutter build ios` does not reproduce this issue).

### Background

Previously, the Flutter framework was unpacked in the Xcode target's build. Unfortunately, this happens after Swift packages are built; this prevented Swift packages from using the Flutter framework.

To fix this, we added an Xcode pre-action that unpacks the Flutter framework _before_ Swift Package Manager builds packages. The Xcode target still runs the Flutter framework unpack step, but this step no-ops if the unpack step has the exact same inputs.

  C --> E[Unpack Flutter framework #1]
  D --> F["
  Unpack Flutter framework #2
  (No-ops if inputs are same as #1)
  "]
```

https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/150052 added an optimization that made it more likely the second unpack step no-ops by fixing a case where the target architecture input could be different:

> When using SwiftPM, we use `flutter assemble` in an Xcode Pre-action to run the `debug_unpack_macos` (or profile/release) target. This target is also later used in a Run Script build phase. Depending on `ARCHS` build setting, the Flutter/FlutterMacOS binary is thinned. In the Run Script build phase, `ARCHS` is filtered to the active arch. However, in the Pre-action it doesn't always filter to the active arch. As a workaround, assume arm64 if the [`NATIVE_ARCH`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/build-settings-reference/#NATIVEARCH) is arm, otherwise assume x86_64.

This optimization is only applied if [`ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH`](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeBuildSettingRef/1-Build_Setting_Reference/build_setting_ref.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003931-CH3-SW157) is `YES`.

It specifies whether the product includes only object code for the native architecture.

### Problem

`buildXcodeProject` incorrectly always sets `ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH` to `YES` if the Xcode built is for a single architecture:

6abef22251/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/ios/mac.dart (L353-L361)

This is incorrect! If the host architecture is `x64` but the target architecture is `arm64`, [`ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH`](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/XcodeBuildSettingRef/1-Build_Setting_Reference/build_setting_ref.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003931-CH3-SW157) should be `NO`.

This caused the prepare pre-action to incorrectly use x64 as the target architecture for arm64 devices on an x64 host, which in turn caused builds to fail if Swift Package Manager was enabled.

### Solution

This change updates `buildXcodeProject` to set `ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH` correctly.

This change also updates the prepare pre-action's to be more conservative in applying the optimization that filters the target architecture. This ensures that the build still works (but without the optimization) if `ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH` is incorrectly set.

### DeviceLab test

This problem reproduces if you `flutter run` to an iPhone Arm64 device from an x64 mac host with the Swift Package Manager feature enabled.

I ran an affected DeviceLab test to verify the fix works as expected:

Flutter

Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

Documentation

For announcements about new releases, follow the flutter-announce@googlegroups.com mailing list. Our documentation also tracks breaking changes across releases.

Terms of service

The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms

For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).

About Flutter

We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.

Beautiful user experiences

We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter's layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you're building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.

Fast results

Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (that underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.

Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart platform, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.

Productive development

Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.

Extensible and open model

Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.

Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
