What changed?

floaty_chatheads is a full rewrite of floaty_chathead using a federated plugin architecture, bringing:

• iOS support alongside Android
• Type-safe platform channels via Pigeon (no more manual MethodChannel strings)
• Typed messaging with FloatyMessenger<T> for serialized communication between main app and overlay
• Lifecycle-aware controller (FloatyController) with ChangeNotifier integration
• Widget-level integration via FloatyScope (InheritedWidget) and FloatyPermissionGate
• Multi-chathead management (addChatHead, removeChatHead, expandChatHead, collapseChatHead)
• Built-in UI components (FloatyMiniPlayer, FloatyNotificationCard)
• 100% test coverage on handwritten code with 132 tests
• Testing utilities (FakeFloatyPlatform, FakeOverlayDataSource) for easy widget testing
