Description

Since the build setting preset yml files were created, XcodeProj has added it's own logic and presets for these settings, presumably for Tuist
https://github.com/tuist/XcodeProj/blob/main/Sources/XcodeProj/Utils/BuildSettingsProvider.swift

We can look at using them too, and seeing where the differences are. This would let us remove the yml files

Research direction

Read XcodeProj's Sources/XcodeProj/Utils/BuildSettingsProvider.swift and compare its presets with XcodeGen's existing build setting preset YAML files. Identify the differences and determine whether the provider can replace those files; done means the equivalent presets work and the YAML files can be removed.
