Unused frameworks linked into a fully managed linked macOS app #6542

Steps to Reproduce

Create new XM app.
Enable the linker if it's not already linked.
Build.
Examine which native frameworks the app links with.

Expected Behavior

A limited set of frameworks required by all apps (Foundation, AppKit).

Actual Behavior

Quite a few frameworks:

QuartzCore (CoreAnimation)
CoreLocation
Security
SceneKit
MapKit
BusinessChat
UserNotifications

It's probable that one of more of these frameworks have a valid reason for being used; each would need investigation to see if really needed or not.

We have a test for this: https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/6543

Environment

xcode11 branch

was the protocol/attributes/registrar optimization applied to map (by default, since it's not AOT'ed) ?
