Subject: [PATCH] Fix ccache being silently bypassed on iOS builds

Xcode does not export user-defined build settings as environment
variables for invoked scripts, so the CCACHE_BINARY value set on
the project by react_native_post_install never reached
ccache-clang.sh / ccache-clang++.sh. Because the original
exec command collapsed an empty $CCACHE_BINARY, builds silently
invoked clang directly and ccache was never used.

Fall back to a PATH lookup when CCACHE_BINARY is unset, and only
prepend ccache when an executable is actually available so projects
without ccache still build.

Fixes #55381
