[FR] Add a new option on iOS Resolver Settings to include a "use_modular_headers!" flag on the Podfile

[nanddo]

Feature proposal

Add an option on iOS Resolver Settings to enable use_modular_headers! flag on the Podfile.

Component & SDKs info

• EDM4U Component: iOS Resolver.
• Unity editor version: 2022.3.1f1.
• External Dependency Manager version: 1.2.176.
• Plugins SDK in use: Firebase, AppLovin SDK + Adapters (Admob, Facebook, Vungle, etc.).
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Mac.

Issue faced

After adding AppLovin SDK to my Unity project that already had Firebase SDK, I got the following error when trying to build for iOS:

[!] The following Swift pods cannot yet be integrated as static libraries:

The Swift pod `FirebaseCoreInternal` depends upon `GoogleUtilities`, which does not define modules.
To opt into those targets generating module maps (which is necessary to import them from Swift
when building as static libraries), you may set `use_modular_headers!` globally in your Podfile,
or specify `:modular_headers => true` for particular dependencies.

The Swift pod `FirebaseSessions` depends upon `FirebaseCore`, `FirebaseCoreExtension`, `FirebaseInstallations`,
`GoogleDataTransport`, `GoogleUtilities`, and `nanopb`, which do not define modules.

When I manually added the use_modular_headers! globally in my Podfile and archived directly on XCode, the process worked correctly. However, the Podfile will be overwritten once I do a new CI build.

Important: the error above only happens on branches with AppLovin SDK. If I use a branch without it, there's no need for such a flag.

Here's how my Podfile looks like (note that the flag was added manually).
