Shoji Tokunaga 5349a5ab0c arch/sim: replace macOS C++ constructor runtime hack with post-link patch
- Invoke `codesign` and after lief rewrites the binary, so the modified
   Mach-O remains loadable on macOS.
- Run the patch script via a dedicated `sim_patch_macho_initsection`
  custom target attached to `nuttx_post`, instead of a POST_BUILD
  command on the `nuttx` target.

"""Patch Mach-O init section type flags to prevent dyld from

Changes MOD_INIT_FUNC_POINTERS (0x9) section types to REGULAR (0x0)
