fix(realtime): add explicit type cast to fix web hot restart TypeError (#1308)

* fix(realtime): add explicit type cast to fix web hot restart TypeError

Fixes TypeError when using RealtimeChannel.off() on Flutter web during hot restart.
JavaScript interop causes type inference to fail on .where().toList() chains,
returning List<dynamic> instead of List<Binding>, which fails type checks.

Root Cause:
- RealtimeChannel.off() at line 475-478 used .where().toList() without explicit casting
- RealtimeClient.remove() at line 332 had similar pattern
- During web hot restart, JS interop loses type information
- Assignment back to typed collections (Map<String, List<Binding>>, List<RealtimeChannel>) fails

Solution:
- Added .cast<Binding>() to RealtimeChannel.off() after .toList()
- Added .cast<RealtimeChannel>() to RealtimeClient.remove() after .toList()
- Follows existing pattern in realtime_presence.dart (lines 172, 177, 240, 303)
- Consistent with type safety improvements from commit 102595d

Acceptance Criteria:
- [x] The off() method successfully removes event bindings on Flutter web without type errors
- [x] Hot restart on Flutter web no longer throws TypeError
- [x] All existing tests pass (98 tests)
- [x] No breaking changes to public API
- [x] Type safety maintained across all platforms
- [x] Similar pattern in realtime_client.dart reviewed and fixed

Testing:
- Added test case documenting the web hot restart issue
- Verified all 98 tests pass in realtime_client package
- No functional changes, only type safety improvements
