28f0cffdb6 chore(fs): build kqueue instead of fsevents watcher on iOS (#9950)
### Purpose

On iOS, the FSEvents API for watching files (also used on macOS) is not
available, but `kqueue` is. This PR ensures `kqueue` support is built on
iOS instead of the FSEvents based watcher implementation.

Before this PR, you could already use the `kqueue` build option to force
its usage. Unfortunately `gomobile`, the tool that I use to build
Syncthing for iOS and macOS for Synctrain, does not support setting
different build flags for iOS and macOS (unless I build separately for
each, which is a bit of a hassle because XCode nonsense). I am assuming
there are good reasons to support FSEvents even though `kqueue` is also
available on macOS (but I'm not sure why?). I do know FSEvents has been
working fine for me on macOS so it seems best to use FSEvents on macOS
and kqueue on iOS.

Note that this also requires https://github.com/syncthing/notify/pull/4
to be merged in `synchting/notify` (until that is done, this PR will
fail to build on iOS due to `notify` still trying to link to `fsevents`
stuff when the `kqueue` build flag is not set).

### Testing

I compiled both `syncthing/notify` and syncthing with this PR applied,
and used that to successfully build the Synctrain iOS app, which after
this PR works fine and should follow up file changes a bit quicker.

de0b4270df all: minimal set of changes for iOS app (#9619)
### Purpose

This PR contains the set of changes needed to make Syncthing work on iOS
for [my iOS app for
Syncthing](https://github.com/pixelspark/sushitrain).

Most changes originate from [the Mobius Sync
fork](http://github.com/MobiusSync/syncthing/tree/ios). I have removed
the changes from their fork that are not strictly needed for my app
(i.e. their changes to the GUI and command line utilities, for instance)
and squashed it all in a single commit.

In summary, the changes are:

* Resolve non-absolute paths to the 'Documents' folder (basically the
only one an app can/should write user data to by default on iOS)
* Tweaking of build flags/conditions for iOS (i.e. determine which
basicfs_watch, ignoreresult variant to build for iOS)
* Disable upgrade mechanism on iOS
* Make `RequestGlobal` and `PullerProgress` public symbols
* Expose syncthing.app's Model instance (app.M)
* Add no-op stub for SetLowPriority on iOS

I would very much appreciate these changes to be (eventually) merged to
mainline syncthing, as this would allow my iOS app to track the mainline
source code directly and removes the need (for me at least) for
maintaining a separate fork. Perhaps the Mobius folks can also benefit
from this (although as noted this branch does not contain their changes
to e.g. the GUI).

### Testing

This branch has been tested with the iOS app and appears to work fine.
The full set of MobiusSync changes has been used before with success.

### Screenshots

n/a

### Documentation

There should be no visible changes for users due to this set of changes.
