Description

Now [PEP 730](https://peps.python.org/pep-0730) is in Python 3.13, it would be good to revive the iOS builds on this project. These were removed in https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/commit/0ce1527b0adc4b47c34f9fcc65a41db6c7934f6b due to CI overhead and lack of testing/use:

> These aren't released and haven't been tested thoroughly. macOS GitHub
> Actions runners slow down the CI for this project and this annoys me.
> The addition of 3.11 builds is going to make the situation worse. So
> let's just disable the iOS builds from CI to keep CI responsive.

I'm hoping now that iOS is officially supported at tier 3, maintaining iOS builds will be less burdensome going forward.

At the moment we're using https://github.com/beeware/Python-Apple-support instead (and compiling ourselves), but haven't tried out 3.13 yet.
