Implement correct notification permissions for iOS and macOS

- Add timezone as direct dependency (per lint rules)
- Update initialization to set all permissions to false
- Add separate macOS initialization settings
- Implement platform-specific permission requests for iOS and macOS
- Follow recommended pattern from flutter_local_notifications docs
