[pve-devel] [PATCH pve_flutter_frontend v4] ui: enable noVNC console on iOS

The noVNC console was disabled in iOS and was only available in android

To fix the issue enabled the noVNC console view on iOS devices. The
changes also includes a refactor of the function responsible for
displaying the webview.

Additionally, the `PveAppBar` has been added to the console view
to allow users to easily close the view. To avoid the body of the
scaffold to resize when the keyboard pops up set
`resizeToAvoidBottomInset` [0] to false.
