Description

We should add a command to help people figure out why schemes aren't built.

Something like this:

```
$ carthage diagnose --platform ios
* path/to/Bar.xcodeproj
* Foo.xcscheme
✓ Framework
X Dynamic Framework
* Flab.xcscheme
✓ Framework
✓ Dynamic Framework
✓ iOS
* Baz.xcodeproj
* No shared schemes
```

Research direction

Start by locating Carthage's command entry point and the existing scheme-discovery logic used for --platform ios. Define the diagnose output around each Xcode project, shared scheme, and platform/framework checks shown in the example. Done means the command explains why schemes are excluded and reports projects with no shared schemes.
