feat(macos): add macOS permissions service for Input Monitoring, Local Network, and Notifications

Add MacOSPermissionsService (Dart) + native MethodChannel handler (Swift)
for macOS-specific permissions not covered by permission_handler:

- Input Monitoring (CGPreflightListenEventAccess /
  CGRequestListenEventAccess) for global PTT via Event Tap
- Local Network Privacy prompt (NWBrowser for _ts3._tcp, macOS 15+)
- Notifications (UNUserNotificationCenter authorization)

Trace: SRS-198, SRS-297, SRS-300, SysRS-166, SDD-091

Changes:
- Info.plist: add NSBonjourServices array with _ts3._tcp
- macos_permissions_service.dart: Dart service with MethodChannel,
  ValueNotifier states, PTT capability derivation (L0Focused /
  L1MacOSEventTap), non-macOS short-circuit
- MainFlutterWindow.swift: native handler registered as FlutterPlugin,
  Input Monitoring check/request/polling, NWBrowser trigger with
  denial detection, UNUserNotificationCenter request
- main.dart: wire service into bootstrap lifecycle, listen for PTT
  capability changes from Input Monitoring state
- macos_permissions_service_test.dart: 17 unit tests covering inbound
  state changes, outbound calls, lifecycle, error handling, platform
  behavior (179/179 full suite pass)

+///  * Subscribe to the Swift-side `MethodChannel`

+///  * Provide imperative Dart → Swift entry points for checking and

+///    error messages) can react without polling.
+///
+/// ## Non-macOS short-circuit
+///
+/// On Android / iOS / Linux / Windows / web, none of these macOS-
+/// specific permissions exist. The MethodChannel is therefore never
