refactor: Remove JSON conversion and use native Map transfer

Android changes:
- Handle inputData as Map<String, Any> natively
- Remove JSON conversion in Extractor
- Update WorkManager Data builder to handle Map values directly
- Support primitive types (String, Boolean, Int, Long, Float, Double)

iOS changes:
- Update BackgroundTaskOperation and BackgroundWorker to handle Map
- Remove JSON serialization in SwiftWorkmanagerPlugin
- Use native Map transfer across method channels
- Add inputData support to periodic and processing tasks

This eliminates unnecessary JSON parsing and leverages Flutter SDK's
native Map serialization capabilities across method channels.
