Support for dyld_shared_cache files

[rickmark]

A pure ruby implementation of these is useful as loose dylibs no longer exist on Apple platforms

That would be interesting, although I want to take care not to make API concessions that get in the way of Homebrew's uses of ruby-macho 🙂

If we can add support without making their usecases more difficult, I'm all for it.

Someone did a partial writeup on the newer shared cache format here: gimli-rs/object#358

Plan was to introduce as a separate file / class like FAT so it’s broadly isolated - it has a separate magic so the global open could return it based on detection Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Sounds good!

Started to work through this implementation.

macOS 12 has DSCs that are multi file now, so the plan is to create MachO::DyldSharedCache class which is a collection of 1 or more MachO::DyldSharedCache::DSCFiles. You can then loop over the DSC to get each of the embedded dylibs.

In order to fully emulate the dsc_extractor.bundle behavior we would need to correctly handle the pre-binding by regenerating exports and imports. This seems far easier when a sideband .symbols file is present (it appears to contain the symbolic names that get optimized away by the prebinding)
