Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Re-add a Mono iOS simulator smoke leg

Re-enable a single AllSubsets_Mono iOS simulator leg (AOT + interpreter)
that builds the product with Mono and runs the libraries smoke tests, so
we keep continuous signal that Mono still builds and runs on iOS.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Force smoke-only for the Mono iOS simulator leg

Use /p:RunSmokeTestsOnly=true so this leg always runs the libraries smoke
tests in the extra-platforms pipelines, matching its intent.
