summary:
gh-156115: Use the simulator deployment-target flag for iOS simulator builds
(#156116)
Ensures that CFLAGS and LDFLAGS use -mios-simulator-version-min, rather
than the device-based -mios-version-min. This only matters if the CFLAGS
and LDFLAGS are used in a bare call to clang without a -target; but that is
a legal usage, so it's worth catching.

+iOS simulator builds are now configured with
+``-mios-simulator-version-min`` instead of the device's
+``-mios-version-min``. The device flag made the linker reject libraries
+resolved from the simulator SDK, so library detection silently failed.
