[3.13] gh-126925: Modify how iOS test results are gathered (GH-127592) (#127754)

Adds a `use_system_log` config item to enable stdout/stderr redirection for
Apple platforms. This log streaming is then used by a new iOS test runner
script, allowing the display of test suite output at runtime. The iOS test
runner script can be used by any Python project, not just the CPython test
suite.

+Testing a Python package
+------------------------
+
+The CPython source tree contains :source:`a testbed project <iOS/testbed>` that
+is used to run the CPython test suite on the iOS simulator. This testbed can also
+be used as a testbed project for running your Python library's test suite on iOS.
+
+After building or obtaining an iOS XCFramework (See :source:`iOS/README.rst`
+for details), create a clone of the Python iOS testbed project by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ python iOS/testbed clone --framework <path/to/Python.xcframework> --app <path/to/module1> --app <path/to/module2> app-testbed
+
+You will need to modify the ``iOS/testbed`` reference to point to that
+directory in the CPython source tree; any folders specified with the ``--app``
+flag will be copied into the cloned testbed project. The resulting testbed will
+be created in the ``app-testbed`` folder. In this example, the ``module1`` and
+``module2`` would be importable modules at runtime. If your project has
+additional dependencies, they can be installed into the
+``app-testbed/iOSTestbed/app_packages`` folder (using ``pip install --target
+app-testbed/iOSTestbed/app_packages`` or similar).
+
+You can then use the ``app-testbed`` folder to run the test suite for your app,
+For example, if ``module1.tests`` was the entry point to your test suite, you
+could run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ python app-testbed run -- module1.tests
+
+This is the equivalent of running ``python -m module1.tests`` on a desktop
+Python build. Any arguments after the ``--`` will be passed to the testbed as
+if they were arguments to ``python -m`` on a desktop machine.
+
+You can also open the testbed project in Xcode by running:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ open app-testbed/iOSTestbed.xcodeproj
+
+This will allow you to use the full Xcode suite of tools for debugging.
