Replace broken flutter_mailer error-report send with GitHub issue launcher

flutter_mailer has no Linux implementation (throws MissingPluginException)
and on other platforms required users to have a configured mail client.
Vanishingly few error reports ever reached anyone. The 'Send' button on
the error popup was effectively a no-op.

Replaced with a url_launcher call that opens a prefilled GitHub issue at
github.com/Such-Software/hash-wallet/issues/new with the error trace
inlined into the body (truncated to ~6.5KB to stay under GitHub's URL
length cap; full log path is shown in the body for users who want to
attach it manually). Adds a 'bug,from-app' label and a short prompt
asking the user to describe what they were doing.

Downsides: people without a GitHub account will get nothing useful when
they hit 'Send' — they'll see GitHub's sign-up page. Net still better
than the silent no-op we had. Adding a real reporting endpoint
(Cloudflare Worker) is the obvious follow-up if low report volume
turns out to matter.

Also removed flutter_mailer from pubspec.yaml — was only used here.
