Subject: [PATCH] [tools/tests] Fix bug in 'link all' test and the resulting
 regression that showed up in code.

There's a 'link all' test that's verifying that the IntroducedAttribute is
linked away. It does so by verifying that the linked app doesn't have a
'IntroducedAttribute' type - but the test was constructing the fully qualified
type name to look for incorrectly:

    ObjCRuntime.IntroducedAttribute, , Microsoft.iOS

Note the double comma: that meant we wouldn't find the type, even if it wasn't linked away.

The fix is easy (use a single comma), with one caveat (don't use a constant
string, because the linker sees the reference to
"ObjCRuntime.IntroducedAttribute" and _helpfully_ preserves it, exactly what
we don't want), but it revealed that the tested behavior regressed: a fully
linked app wouldn't link away the IntroducedAttribute.

So a fix is also needed: properly remove TVAttribute, WatchAttribute and
MacCatalystAttribute, which are subclasses of IntroducedAttribute (and what
would make the linker keep IntroducedAttribute).

Interestingly this showed up because of a bug in the runtime, where parsing
the invalid assembly name would now throw an exception
(https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/84118).
