Description

If this is something currently supported, let me know and I can make it more clear in the docs.

The "run" options in a scheme have several options that are unable to be set via XcodeGen. Namely those in the "Options" and "Diagnostics" tabs:

Setting one of these options results in fairly irregular output in the resulting xcscheme file. This example shows what is generated for enabling the thread sanitizer and zombies:

It would be great to have first-class support for these fields in YAML. i.e.:

run:
  enableThreadSanitizer: true
  commandLineArguments:
    "-set-store": false
   ... etc

Research direction
Investigate XcodeGen's source code for scheme generation, specifically the part that handles run options. Look at the current implementation of scheme generation in XcodeGen, likely in the 'XcodeProj' or 'Scheme' directory. Compare with how other scheme options are implemented. Consider using the existing pattern for adding new options. Look at linked pull requests or comments for any prior attempts. There is no linked PR, so start by examining the scheme spec and how the 'Test' or 'Profile' options are handled. Then, implement the YAML structure proposed in the issue.
