Description

At the moment Info.plist files are treated differently in that they don't get added to the Resources build phase.
We should change this to check a target's various levels of build settings for INFOPLIST_FILE, and ignore what is in that setting as some projects may use a different name than Info.plist

Research direction

Start by tracing how Info.plist files are identified and added to the Resources build phase, then inspect how a target's build settings are resolved. Done means every filename supplied through INFOPLIST_FILE at the target's supported settings levels is excluded from Resources, including renamed plist files.
