Lack of support for `com.apple.buildphase.copy-files` and `com.apple.buildphase.shell-script`

Lack of support for com.apple.buildphase.copy-files and com.apple.buildphase.shell-script is blocking my team from scanning our iOS apps. We get these errors when running gen-ir:

2025-01-09 17:26:12 +0000 [PIFSupport/PIF.swift:513 decode(container:type:)] [DEBUG] unknown build phase: com.apple.buildphase.copy-files

The source code notes this as a TODO: https://github.com/veracode/gen-ir/blob/0.5.1/PIF/Sources/PIFSupport/PIF.swift#L515
Please add it.

After more investigation, it seems the issue isn't due to lack of support for those build phases, but instead lack of PIF support for "external" tools. I am testing a fix for it, and if it works for me, I'll open a PR for it.

Hi Jarrod, could you try out branch unknown-targets and set how that works for you?
