fix(apple): merge vendored librnnoise.a into xcframework fat static lib

Both VoiceCatMac and VoiceCatiOS failed to link with 'Undefined symbols
for architecture arm64: _rnnoise_create/_rnnoise_destroy/_rnnoise_process_frame'.
Root cause: build-xcframework.sh merged vcpkg deps into the fat static lib but
NOT the locally-built vendored librnnoise.a (a CMake target from
third_party/rnnoise/ linked privately into voicecat via VOICECAT_HAS_NS — not a
vcpkg dep). The xcframework had been rebuilt after the RNNoise commit but still
omitted the symbols, so every slice's libvoicecat-fat.a referenced _rnnoise_*
with no defining object. The iOS slices were also stale (pre-rnnoise) and
absent from the xcframework entirely.

Fix: build-xcframework.sh now also collects .a files from build/<preset>/lib/
(excluding libvoicecat*) so vendored CMake-target static libs like librnnoise.a
get merged in. Future-proof: any new vendored static-lib target landing in
build/<preset>/lib/ is picked up automatically. README 'Fat static library'
section updated.

Verify: rebuilt VoiceCatCore.xcframework --all → all 3 slices (macos-arm64,
ios-arm64, ios-arm64-simulator) now carry the 10 _rnnoise_* symbols; fat lib
~30 MB → ~33 MB. xcodebuild Debug BUILD SUCCEEDED for VoiceCatMac, VoiceCatiOS
(iphonesimulator arm64), and VoiceCatiOS (iphoneos arm64). No core/ABI/proto
changes — xcframework artifact + build script only.

- **Done (2026-06-23):** **Fixed Apple client link failure (stale xcframework missing
RNNoise).** Both `VoiceCatMac` and `VoiceCatiOS` failed to link with `Undefined symbols for
architecture arm64: _rnnoise_create / _rnnoise_destroy / _rnnoise_process_frame`. Root
cause: `clients/apple/scripts/build-xcframework.sh` merged vcpkg deps into the fat static
lib but NOT the locally-built vendored `librnnoise.a` (a CMake target from
`third_party/rnnoise/`, linked privately into `voicecat` via `VOICECAT_HAS_NS` — not a
vcpkg dep). The xcframework had been rebuilt at 14:17 after the RNNoise commit but still
omitted the symbols, so every slice's `libvoicecat-fat.a` referenced `_rnnoise_*` with no
defining object. The iOS slices were also stale (pre-rnnoise) and absent from the
xcframework entirely.
- **Fix:** `build-xcframework.sh` now collects `.a` files from `build/<preset>/lib/`
(excluding `libvoicecat*`) in addition to `vcpkg_installed/<triplet>/lib/`, so vendored
CMake-target static libs like `librnnoise.a` are merged into the fat lib. Future-proof:
any new vendored static-lib target landing in `build/<preset>/lib/` is picked up
automatically. README "Fat static library" section updated.

The `apple-dev` CMake preset produces a 1.9 MB `libvoicecat.a` containing only voicecat's
