Updated v1.0.3: add rlib crate type and gate hardware breakpoints to iOS only

- Add `rlib` alongside `staticlib` so the crate can be consumed as a Rust library dependency while still producing libspecter.a for C/C++
- Gate all hardware breakpoint code (module, FFI functions, registry) behind `#[cfg(target_os = "ios")]` — breakpoints use Mach exception handling that is not supported on macOS - Wrap `mem_brk_*` declarations in specter.h with `#if TARGET_OS_IOS`
- Update `make check-macos` to exclude `mem_brk_` from expected symbol count (macOS: 27 symbols, iOS: 33 symbols)
