After migrating to SwiftPM, the com.apple.xcode.CreatedByBuildSystem extended attribute is removed from the target build directory (e.g. build/ios/Release-iphoneos). This causes xcodebuild clean to fail. This appears to be an Xcode bug. To workaround it, we add it back.

Fixes #183006.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a workaround for an Xcode bug where the com.apple.xcode.CreatedByBuildSystem extended attribute is removed by SwiftPM, causing xcodebuild clean to fail. The change adds this attribute back by calling xattr after the build. The implementation is straightforward and includes updates to tests to cover the new behavior.

My main feedback is to add error handling to the new ensureTargetBuildDirAttribute function. Currently, if the xattr command fails, it will do so silently, which could make debugging difficult if the workaround doesn't apply as expected.
