Move to file_picker v13 and device_info_plus v13 (win32 v6)

Both depend on win32 v6, like current Serverpod, so an app that also uses Serverpod can resolve the editor in one pub workspace; file_picker v10 and device_info_plus v12 need win32 v5.

file_picker v12 made its API static, returns the picked files directly and reads their content on demand (PlatformFile.readAsBytes()); v13 removed the parameters v12 had deprecated. The FilePickerService implementation keeps its interface: withData, withReadStream and lockParentWindow are ignored, allowMultiple chooses between pickFiles() and pickFile(), and saveFile() saves an empty file, since file_picker now writes the file itself and needs its content up front. The image upload reads the picked file's bytes on the web; the example app saves and opens files with the new API.

Raises the minimum to Dart v3.11 and Flutter v3.41.6 (device_info_plus v13).
