[FEATURE]: Add required `Privacy Manifest` file for iOS

[edshkliaruk]

Description

Starting with Spring 2024 Apple requires third-party SDKs to add a Privacy Manifest file (similar to the privacy nutrition labels in the store). Apple specifically lists Capacitor as one of the SDKs that must include this manifest otherwise any App that includes it is not allowed to release an update (or new app) to the store.

I've received an email after I released an update with this plugin

• ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes “Frameworks/GTMAppAuth.framework/GTMAppAuth”, which includes GTMAppAuth, an SDK that was identified in the documentation as a privacy-impacting third-party SDK. Starting November 12, 2024, if a new app includes a privacy-impacting SDK, or an app update adds a new privacy-impacting SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file. Please contact the provider of the SDK that includes this file to get an updated SDK version with a privacy manifest. For more details about this policy, including a list of SDKs that are required to include signatures and manifests, visit: https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements.

Not sure if I try to add this on my side will fix it or not, but maybe if anyone could add this to the library, would be really helpful.

Thanks
