Add support for using Mono.framework instead of libmonosgen-2.0.a #17353

Currently we only support linking mono statically (using libmonosgen-2.0.a) in .NET.

We should add support for linking mono dynamically (using Mono.framework) when it makes sense (when there are app extensions), like we did for legacy iOS.

This depends on https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/85397.

Moving to .NET 9 since https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/85397 won't be fixed for .NET 8.
