Add WRITE_SMS Permission and Setting as Default SMS Application about flutter-permission-handler HOT 4 CLOSED

@ThinkDigitalRepair, I have been researching WRITE_SMS permissions and found that it is not part of the Manifest.permission class which contains all permission constants. Doing a bit of searching I found out that it has been removed by Google starting from API level 23 (see also here).

Apparently Google doesn't want us to use it anymore. Do you have any specific reasons, or maybe instructions on how this could still be accomplished?

@ThinkDigitalRepair thank you for your feedback, learned something new today ;).

Unfortunately we will not be implementing the feature to set your App as the default SMS application in this plugin. To do so would mean that the plugin needs to handle all in- and outbound SMS intents which is very specific behaviour which we feel moves away from the intent of this plugin (namely, handling permissions of all sorts).

Since the WRITE_SMS is also no longer available on Android (since API 23) and it is quite hard to implement it based on older SDK's we will also not implement that in this plugin, although pull-request are always welcome.
