Description

Similarly to testTargets, it would be useful to be able to define additional targets within target-scheme.

For example, Widgets target scheme should have AppTarget added as build target, but currently it doesn't seem possible.

targets:
  AppTarget:
     ...
     
  Widgets:
      type: app-extension
      subtype: widgetkit-extension
      platform: iOS
      deploymentTarget: 15.0
      configFiles:
        DEV Debug: some-dev.xcconfig
        DEV Release: some-dev.xcconfig
        PROD Debug: some-prod.xcconfig
        PROD Release: some-prod.xcconfig
      scheme:
        configVariants:
          - DEV
          - PROD

It is possible to do using top level scheme, but since we have 3+ configVariants in 3+ app "flavours" (whitelabel app), we'd like to rely on using configVariants and avoid manually specifying scheme for each target/config/flavour combination

Research direction

Start with Docs/ProjectSpec.md, comparing the target-scheme section and its testTargets option with the top-level scheme build configuration. Trace how configVariants are represented for target schemes, then define completion as allowing additional build/run targets for each generated variant, including the AppTarget example, without manually specifying every scheme.
