Use sioclient as static lib on iOS

There's a target named sioclient in the Demo project, That is the exactly right config for buiding the sioclient as a static library on iOS. With the static library file libsioclient.a and two exported headers sio_client.h and sio_message.h, you won't need to config anything again and again in your integrating projects.
