iOS: Share Extension (share to Noo) via an App Group inbox

ShareExtension target copies shared files into group.dev.ayushya.noo and
leaves a manifest; the app consumes it on launch/activation through the
existing share_intent channel into the destination picker. Extension is
embedded before Flutter's script phases; versions follow FLUTTER_BUILD_*.
