Make `-c opt` dead strip code for Apple builds by default.

Previously `objc_enable_binary_stripping` and `-c opt` were required to both
symbol strip and dead strip code. Symbol stripping and dead code stripping are very
different things. Dead code stripping is the elimination of dead code and should be done
in an optimized build. Unused code can be marked as "not dead" by using `exported symbols`
in the Apple build rules. Symbol stripping is the removal of symbol tables from an
executable.

`objc_enable_binary_stripping` now only controls symbol stripping.

Eventually I hope we deprecate `objc_enable_binary_stripping` and just use `strip=`.

Closes #13489.
