Fix NFCTagReaderSession init unavailable in SDK 14.5

[christiaan]

Since iPhoneOS14.5 the init function has been marked as unavailable.

Example error:

 /usr/local/opt/actions-runner/_work/mobile-app/mobile-app/platforms/ios/Leviy/Plugins/phonegap-nfc/NfcPlugin.m:128:53: error: 'new' is unavailable
            self.nfcSession = [[NFCTagReaderSession new]
                                                    ^
In module 'CoreNFC' imported from /usr/local/opt/actions-runner/_work/mobile-app/mobile-app/platforms/ios/Leviy/Plugins/phonegap-nfc/NfcPlugin.h:11:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS14.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreNFC.framework/Headers/NFCTagReaderSession.h:100:1: note: 'init' has been explicitly marked unavailable here
- (instancetype)init NS_UNAVAILABLE;
^

Fixes #448

I have not been able to verify this actually works. I could compile it and run in the simulator.

I'm encountering the same issue after updating Xcode to 12.5

            self.nfcSession = [[NFCTagReaderSession new]
                       initWithPollingOption:(NFCPollingISO14443 | NFCPollingISO15693)
                       delegate:self queue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];

The error is : 'new' is unavailable

How to fix this ?

New update. I am not having this problem after updating to Xcode 13.

I can confirm that this is not needed anymore.
