The LinkWith attribute has a Dlsym option: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/blob/b1feb2fd75a2e4b61e2e6d82fb4b3b7e74334292/src/ObjCRuntime/LinkWithAttribute.cs#L113-L115

This option should be surfaced in the IDEs for native libraries/frameworks in binding projects and supported in our MSBuild tasks.

See also: https://github.com/xamarin/md-addins/blob/329a611e87d75f7490e85dfb044757967d66720e/MonoDevelop.MacDev/MonoDevelop.MacDev/NativeReferences/NativeReference.cs#L33-L75

Step 1 is to add support in our MSBuild logic, Step 2 is to add support in the IDEs.
