Apple has enforced a `PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` privacy manifest at App
Store submission since May 2024 for iOS / iPadOS / visionOS /
watchOS, and rolled the requirement out to macOS in late 2024.
Without the file, App Store Connect rejects archive uploads with
"missing required privacy manifest". This commit adds the manifest
for both iOS and macOS Runner targets.

Identical content. Declarations:
NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypes:
NSPrivacyCollectedDataTypeAudioData
Microphone audio transmitted to the user's chosen voice
server while connected and unmuted. Not linked to user
identity (no Apple ID / IDFA tied), not used for tracking.
Purpose: AppFunctionality (communications).
NSPrivacyTracking: false
NSPrivacyTrackingDomains: []
Chanora performs no cross-app / cross-website tracking.
NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes:
FileTimestamp (C617.1)
tokio + rusqlite file I/O for identity.tskey, chanora.db,
audio_meta.json, chanora.log inside the app container.
UserDefaults (CA92.1)
Indirect via path_provider Flutter plugin querying for
Application Support / Documents directories.
SystemBootTime (35F9.1)
tracing-subscriber timestamps log records relative to boot.
DiskSpace (85F4.1)
rusqlite checks before sqlite page writes.
All four "required reason" API categories use Apple's published
allow-list reason codes; no fingerprinting / analytics usage.

Added PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy to the Runner group and to the
Runner target's "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase via the
xcodeproj Ruby gem (via a one-shot script). With this, the file
is placed at Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy where Apple's
validator looks for it — `find Runner.app -name
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy` shows our manifest at the bundle root
alongside Flutter's and connectivity_plus's.
Verified on the M1 Mac (coder@100.118.130.73):
flutter build ios --release --no-codesign 4.0 s
-> Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy present
flutter build ipa --release --no-codesign 28.4 s
-> Runner.xcarchive built (171.4 MB)
-> archive's Runner.app/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy present
-> archive's Runner.app/Frameworks/chanora_bridge.framework
built fresh via the chanora_bridge.podspec prepare_command
under xcodebuild's sandbox (no PATH / env weirdness).
P1 follow-ups noted by xcodebuild's validator (not blockers for
this commit but for App Store submission):
* Real app icon (currently default placeholder)
* Real launch image (currently default placeholder)
* Paid Apple Developer Program account, registered App ID, and
Distribution provisioning profile (Personal Team sideloads
still work as today).
