Give a warm welcome to the new Patrol DevTools Extension!

Patrol DevTools extension allows you to explore the native view hierarchy when developing tests with patrol develop. Now you can easily see what Android / iOS views are currently visible and discover their properties so that they can be used in native selectors like $.native.tap(). You don’t have to use any external tools for that. This is just the beginning, and we plan to add more features to our extension in the future.

Other changes:

Bump minimum supported Flutter version to 3.16

- Remove bindingType parameter from patrolTest() function. Now only PatrolBinding is used and it's automatically initialized (#1882)
- Remove nativeAutomation parameter from patrolTest() function. Now it's enabled by default (#1882)
