fix(ci/release): retry Apple intermediate fetch + chain/clock diagnostic

The iOS Apple Distribution identity imported WITH its private key (it's a
'Matching identity') but was dropped from find-identity -v — i.e. an untrusted
chain: the WWDR G3 intermediate it chains through didn't land, while Developer
ID's DeveloperIDG2CA did. The fetch was a single 'curl || warn' with no retry, so
a transient miss silently breaks iOS only. Retry each intermediate 3x, and print
the runner UTC date + whether the WWDR intermediate is present, to separate a
chain miss from the cert's notBefore being ahead of the runner clock.
