iOS: route status-bar taps into CN1 pointer handling

[liannacasper]

Motivation

• iOS handles status-bar taps at the native level which can prevent Codename One pointer events from reaching the existing status-bar component logic, so status-bar taps should be routed into the CN1 pointer pipeline.
• Provide a native-side hook that converts the OS status-bar tap into the existing CN1 press/release callbacks so Java-side createStatusBar() logic can trigger scroll-to-top.

Description

• Added UIScrollViewDelegate conformance to CodenameOne_GLViewController to receive the system status-bar tap callback via scrollViewShouldScrollToTop:.
• Introduced an invisible UIScrollView named cn1StatusBarTapProxy installed from viewDidLoad that has scrollsToTop = YES and is sized to the view so the system will invoke the delegate on a status-bar tap.
• Implemented scrollViewShouldScrollToTop: to synthesize a top-edge pointer press/release by calling pointerPressedC(...) and pointerReleasedC(...) with coordinates at the top center, and then reset the proxy content offset to avoid visible scrolling.
• Set autoresizing and interaction properties for the proxy and added cleanup in dealloc (respecting non-ARC release conventions) so it survives rotations/layout and doesn't leak.

Testing

• Attempted the fast smoke helper ./scripts/fast-core-unit-smoke.sh following repository guidance to validate core unit tests, but the script failed in this environment because the Java 8 toolchain was not available (JAVA_HOME not configured to a Java 8 runtime), so no tests executed.
• No other automated tests were run in this environment; runtime validation is recommended on an iOS device/simulator with Java 8 present for the helper script to run.
