fix: about page version unknown and link crash on Android (#213)

Bug 1 – "App Version: unknown": PackageInfo.fromPlatform() throws because
plugin registration is aborted mid-way by a Java Error (e.g.
NoClassDefFoundError) that catch (Exception e) does not catch.
Fix: change all 13 catch clauses in GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java to
catch (Throwable e) and commit the file so it is used by release builds.

Bug 2 – crash when tapping sharedinbox.de: url_launcher_android 6.3.25+
migrated to Pigeon 26, which throws a channel-error on some Android
devices (same root cause as path_provider_android, already pinned).
The onTapLink callback called launchUrl via unawaited() with no error
handling, so the PlatformException became an unhandled async error and
crashed the app.
Fix: pin url_launcher_android <6.3.25 in dependency_overrides, and add
a _launchUrl() helper with full try/catch that shows a SnackBar on error
instead of crashing. New widget test verifies the snackbar path.
