Switch from file_picker package to first-party file_selector and/or image_picker #855

As described at https://github.com/zulip/zulip-flutter/issues/114#issuecomment-1619401171 ,

namely package:file_selector and package:image_picker.

We didn't use those initially because they didn't at the time have all the features we need. It looks like they now do.

Meanwhile the third-party package:file_picker seems to not be vigorously maintained. For example see:
