Repurpose Xcode and Swift sections to use native tools

[tinder-cfuller]

The problem

The Xcode and Swift sections depend upon 3rd party tools, namely xcenv and swiftenv, that require manual installation, are not strictly necessary and are not ubiquitious.

Describe the solution you'd like

Rename the Xcode section from "xcode" to "xcenv" and rename the Swift section from "swift" to "swiftenv" and move them both to the registry (likely also requiring moving them to another repo).

Then repurpose the "xcode" and "swift" names for brand new sections that rely solely on the 1st party Apple provided commands xed --version and swift --version.

The new sections will not support the local/global configs that the existing sections do. This means that this would be a breaking change for anyone using the local/global configs which would require manually switching to using the "xcenv" / "swiftenv" commands.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Create new sections with new names (such as "xed" and "swiftc")
   • This is not an ideal solution since the names are not as clear as the correct names "xcode" and "swift".
2. Modify the existing sections to fallback to using xed --version and swift --version when xcenv and swiftenv are not installed.
   • This is is not an ideal solution since the local/global configs do not apply when using the 1st party tools.

Documentation

The docs for the new sections would be almost identical to the existing sections with the following modifications:

1. The local/global configs would be removed.
2. Links to "xcenv" and "swiftenv" sections in the registry would be provided directing users to use those sections for compatibility with those 3rd party tools.

The ✨ emoji should be considered as an alternative for the Swift section.
