PR Summary

Low Risk
Low risk: this is a coordinated version bump across build/distribution metadata with no functional code changes beyond updating the reported SDK version string.

Overview
Release bump to 9.0.0. Updates the core SDK version in VERSION, Framework/Info.plist, and kMParticleSDKVersion (MPIConstants.m).

Aligns distribution metadata by setting all affected kit *.podspec versions and kit Package.swift SPM pins (let version) to 9.0.0, plus bumps the core mParticle-Apple-SDK and mParticle-Apple-SDK-Swift podspec versions to match.
