This pull request contains a few changes:
1. Adds support for string ort values.
2. Fixes the training minimal build (that was broken with #16601) by
putting custom op registration behind #ifdefs
3. Fixes the iOS pod package generation (that was again broken with
#16601) by explicitly providing paths to be copied during pod creation.
### Description
Enable support for building iOS packages/CocoaPods with training API
- Add `Training` Package variant and config files in current iOS
packaging utilities to enable creation of training packages
### Motivation and Context
This PR introduces new `Training` variant in
`build_and_assemble_ios_pods.py` script which allows creating pods for
iOS with training API enabled.
The sample script to build training pods:
```
python3 tools/ci_build/github/apple/build_and_assemble_ios_pods.py --variant Training \
--build-settings-file tools/ci_build/github/apple/default_full_ios_training_framework_build_settings.json \
-b=-- path_to_protoc_exe=<path/to/protoc>
```
Note: build settings file should have `--enable_training` as a build
parameter.
Simply adding training packaging increases the duration of the Azure
pipeline for packaging by 70 minutes. To address this issue, we need to
parallelize pod creation. In order not to further strain the pipeline,
the changes for training packaging will be added in another PR, which
optimizes the packaging pipeline.

### Description
<!-- Describe your changes. -->
Add Swift Package Manager (SPM) support for ORT based on #14621
- uses the existing objective-c bindings
- some re-organization of the directory structure was required but the
contents of the files are unchanged, apart from adjustments due to file
movements
Add tool for updating ORT native pod used in the SPM package
Update CIs to use ORT native pod from build, and build/test using SPM
### Motivation and Context
<!-- - Why is this change required? What problem does it solve?
- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
iOS developers are using SPM as much as cocoapods, so adding SPM means
both are catered for.
