[network_info] ios: handle deprecation of CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo

[daadu]

System info

Issue occurs on: iOS
Plugin name: network_info_plus
Plugin version: nil
Flutter doctor output: nil

CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo is deprecated in iOS 14.0, it recommends to use NEHotspotNetwork
.fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler.

I am not a native iOS developer but as far as I read, the new method is part of HotspotHelper API which requires special entitlements from Apple (requesting them manually here).

Either

1. deprecating iOS completely
2. implement HotspotHelper API and integrate with current handler

Looks like fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler does not require Hotspot Helper entitlement.

+fetchCurrentWithCompletionHandler: does not require the Hotspot Helper entitlement. Unfortunately that fact is not documented officially (r. 74976266). Fortunately, there’s lots of good info about this method in the doc comments in <NetworkExtension/NEHotspotNetwork.h>.
