Automate installation of additional iOS simulator runtimes

[Fishbowler]

Use case

I've just run through this dance:

danc@Dans-MBP ~ % maestro start-device --platform iOS --os-version 16     

Attempting to create iOS simulator: Maestro_iPhone11_16 
Required runtime to create the simulator is not installed: iOS-16-2

To install additional iOS runtimes checkout this guide:
* https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-additional-simulator-runtimes

danc@Dans-MBP ~ % xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -exportPath ~/Downloads/ios-16-2.dmg -buildVersion 16.2
Downloading iOS 16.2 Simulator (20C52): 11.1% (712 MB of 6.41 GB)  

The steps I'm taking come from the linked page (although appear to be a new feature). Wouldn't it be handy if Maestro could automate a bunch of this?

Proposal

Look something like this:

danc@Dans-MBP ~ % maestro start-device --platform iOS --os-version 16     

Attempting to create iOS simulator: Maestro_iPhone11_16 
Required runtime to create the simulator is not installed: iOS-16-2

Would you like to install it now? (Y/n) y

MAE-95 Automate installation of additional iOS simulator runtimes

Here's the commands we use in devicecloud.dev:

sudo xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion {{ item }} -exportPath ./SimulatorRuntimes/
sudo xcodebuild -importPlatform ./SimulatorRuntimes/iphonesimulator_{{ item }}_*.dmg

Although it's worth saying that not all runtimes are CLI friendly. For example, 18.0 could only be installed via xcode.
