We currently don't have any machinery for qmake or CMake to map
translations declared via TRANSLATIONS += or qt_add_translations
to the Info.plist CFBundleLocalizations key.
This results in macOS and iOS falling back to the development region,
CFBundleDevelopmentRegion, as the only supported localization of the
app, which is in most cases set to 'en'.
Unfortunately this doesn't work well with the behavior of iOS 11+
and macOS 10.13+ where the OS will set the locale of the app to
the best match between the app's supported localizations and the
user's preferred language.

Since we only support a single localization, the development region,
the locale always ends up as 'en_<REGION>', which after QTBUG-104930
is also reflected in the QLocale's uiLanguages(), resulting in the
QTranslator machinery always picking English translation for the app.
As long as we don't explicitly declare CFBundleLocalizations we need
to opt out of the system's behavior of finding the best match between
the app's declared localizations and the user's preferences, which we
can do via the CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations key.

This is consistent with what $(DEVELOPMENT_LANGUAGE) reports, as well as
the Apple Locales Programming Guide which states that "Locale names such
as “English”, “French”, and “Japanese” are deprecated in OS X and are
supported solely for backward compatibility."

Includes:
- setting a custom Info.plist
- Bundling non-image assets
- Bundling image assets using asset catalogs
- Bundling app icons
- Bundling a launch screen
Projects added for both qmake and CMake.
The executable uses testlib to check that non-image assets,
icons and asset catalogs were successfully bundled upon deployment
to a device.
