Force embed-bitcode on non-simulator iOS/tvOS targets

At this time Apple recommends Bitcode be included for iOS apps, and
requires it for tvOS. It is unlikely that a developer would want to
disable bitcode when building for these targets, yet by default it will
not be generated. This presents a papercut for developers on those
platforms.

Introduces a new TargetOption boolean key for specific triples to
indicate that bitcode should be generated, even if cargo attempts to
optimise with -Cembed-bitcode=no.
