Enable Apple APNS http/2 for Citrix XenMobile Server XMS lower than 10.13

XMS version 10.13 supports Apple APNS http/2 automatically

XenMobile Server XMS use Apple APNS for device push notification and based on the APNS with legacy binary protocol but that will be replaced with APNS http/2-based API. Two years ago Apple announced that APNS with the legacy binary protocol would no longer be supported from November 2020 and migrate to Apple APNS http/2-based API.

But on October 9, 2020, Apple extended this deadline to March 31, 2021, giving you additional time to prepare for this change. See updated announcement here.
