[cross_file] Document native mimeType behavior

[faheemabbas766]

Clarifies that XFile.mimeType is not inferred from file paths or file contents on native platforms.

For native/io implementations, mimeType returns the value explicitly passed to XFile or XFile.fromData, if any. This matches the existing behavior and documents the expectation raised in flutter/flutter#93379.

Fixes flutter/flutter#93379

Tests

dart analyze
dart test
cd example && dart test

Code Review

This pull request updates the XFile documentation to clarify that native implementations do not infer MIME types from file paths or contents. Review feedback recommends refining the documentation in io.dart to explicitly state that the mimeType property returns the value provided to the constructor, avoiding circular phrasing.

The web test was not run successfully locally because dart test -p chrome could not locate a chrome executable in this environment.

Also, please take a moment to re-read the section of the AI contribution guidelines about reviewing AI output, and not uncritically reposting whatever the AI outputs.
