High-performance photo and video manager for Flutter with native-speed gallery loading.

• Initial release of the flutter_photo_library plugin.

• Added APIs to fetch paginated lists of images and videos from local device storage on Android and iOS.
• Included native thumbnail generation with built-in LRU memory caching for optimal performance.
• Supported native iOS background pre-fetching methods to speed up grid scrolling.
• Added capabilities to extract raw image bytes or video URIs for high-resolution displays.
• Implemented comprehensive permission handling, returning granular statuses (granted, denied, permanentlyDenied).
• Added Android <uses-permission> tags directly into the package's manifest to streamline setup.
• Optimized package compatibility to support Dart SDK >=2.12.0 and Flutter >=2.0.0.
