[clang-tidy/checks] Update objc-property-declaration check to allow arbitrary acronyms and initialisms 🔧

Summary:
§1 Description

This changes the objc-property-declaration check to allow arbitrary acronyms and initialisms instead of using whitelisted acronyms. In Objective-C it is relatively common to use project prefixes in property names for the purposes of disambiguation. For example, the CIColor¹ and CGColor² properties on UIColor both represent symbol prefixes being used in proeprty names outside of Apple's accepted acronyms³. The union of Apple's accepted acronyms and all symbol prefixes that might be used for disambiguation in property declarations effectively allows for any arbitrary sequence of capital alphanumeric characters to be acceptable in property declarations. This change updates the check accordingly.

The test variants with custom configurations are deleted as part of this change because their configurations no longer impact behavior. The acronym configurations are currently preserved for backwards compatibility of check configuration.
