LOG: [CMake][Release] Use llvm-bitcode-strip on Darwin for build with -ffat-lto-objects (#200764)

Building with --fat-lto-objects was added in #140381 (cff9ae7a15a5). On
macOS the tests are failing when building release binaries with many
"The file was not recognized as a valid object file" errors, e.g.:

  error:

'/Users/runner/work/llvm-project/llvm-project/build/tools/clang/stage2-instrumented-bins/tools/clang/stage2-bins/_CPack_Packages/Darwin/TXZ/LLVM-22.1.0-rc1-macOS-ARM64/lib/libLLVMAArch64AsmParser.a(AArch64AsmParser.cpp.o)':
  The file was not recognized as a valid object file

It's assuming bitcode is embedded in section .llvm.lto
(llvm/lib/Object/ObjectFile.cpp:80) but on MachO it's in
__LLVM,__bitcode (llvm/lib/Object/MachOObjectFile.cpp:2184)

llvm-bitcode-strip is a driver for the MachO bitcode_strip utility which
handles this. Use this instead.

Fixes #176398.
