Rewrite Obj-C workflow in Rust
This is functionally equivalent to the previous workflow_objc, with the following changes: 1. It mutates the `core.function.metaAnalysis` workflow rather than registering a new named workflow. The activities now all check for the presence of the Objective-C metadata added by `ObjCProcessor` to determine whether they should do work, rather than relying on `MachoView` to override the function workflow when Objective-C metadata is present. This fixes https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6779. 2. The auto-inlining of `objc_msgSend` selector stub functions is performed in a separate activity from the processing of `objc_msgSend` call sites. The selector stub inlining activity is configured so that it does not run in `DSCView` as the shared cache needs different behavior for stub functions more generally that `SharedCacheWorkflow` already provides. 3. The way that types like `id` and `SEL` are referenced is fixed so that they show up as `id` rather than `objc_struct*`. This also replaces the Objective-C portion of the shared cache's workflow, and incorporates several bug fixes that had been applied to it but not the standalone Objective-C workflow.
