Add support for building, running, and testing multi-platform targets

[pepicrft]

Users reported issues trying to build, test, and run multi-platform targets. That's because we haven't yet iterated on those commands to support multi-platform targets. We should add support for that.

What are we thinking about when we say "support" what would tuist build do when run for a multiplatform target? build against every supported platform sequentially?

Similarly with run what does that mean with a multiplatform target?

Exactly. Also make sure that there's a CLI interface to indicate the platforms they want to build for.
Looking at the current interface, I think it's a bit confusing:

  -d, --device <device>   Build on a specific device.
  --platform <platform>   Build for a specific platform.
  -o, --os <os>           Build with a specific version of the OS.

Should we use --destination instead, like Xcode does? Instead of abstracting that away and trying to be smart about it?

Similarly with run what does that mean with a multiplatform target?

I don't think this one makes sense to make it multi-platform. I can't think of a use case where the user will want to run it in three destinations at the same time? Or maybe it's common?
