Per https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift_packages/distributing_binary_frameworks_as_swift_packages it is possible to generate binary releases by creating Swift packages that include XCFrameworks. These can be distributed as ZIP files.

We should write an Actions workflow for PRs. On any change to a PR's branch, it:

Builds the XCFramework.
Creates a synthetic Swift package with the XCFramework as the sole target.
Bundles the package as a ZIP.
Uploads the ZIP as an Actions workflow artifact.
Sets the workflow status to the dependency string that needs to be pasted into e.g. ZcashLightClientKit.

This should make it much easier to test changes to the underlying Rust libraries:

Make change to Rust crates.
Make a PR on this repo that uses the altered Rust crates.

Once we have a Uniffi repo, this would become:

Make change to Rust crates.
Make a branch of the Uniffi repo that adds a patch using the altered Rust crates.
Make a PR on this repo that uses the branch of the Uniffi repo.
