Description

Checking the Hyperloop metabase generation docs, it seems like the frameworks (in detail: the umbrella classes) are generated twice:

[INFO]  [Hyperloop] generating Foundation Foundation/Foundation
[INFO]  [Hyperloop] generating Foundation Foundation/Foundation
[INFO]  [Hyperloop] generating CFNetwork CFNetwork/CFNetwork

I thought that it may be a false positive, when it get's generated for different architectures, we should still check it to avoid glitches later. Note that this is not only on SDK 6, but also since the very first Hyperloop version, but I never filed a ticket for it until now. Also note that not all frameworks are generated twice. CFNetwork CoreText, CoreMedia, CoreVideo and OpenGLES seem to be only generated once. The log comes from [here](https://github.com/appcelerator/hyperloop.next/blob/master/metabase/ios/lib/generate/util.js#L869). Run hyperloop-examples to reproduce.

This is due to generation of two separate files for most Frameworks, a JS wrapper and a *.m helper file to handle blocks and other things. The extension is omitted in the log message, otherwise it would read something like this: [INFO] [Hyperloop] generating Foundation Foundation/Foundation.js [INFO] [Hyperloop] generating Foundation Foundation/Foundation.m Just a poorly designed logging message. I'll set the priority to low for this one so we can change the log message eventually.
