Examples: games_services, geolocator, path_provider and url_launcher ship our own demo, not upstream's #24
Description
AUTHORING.md §3 asks every ported package to ship upstream's own example, unchanged apart from listed watch deviations, ported with flutter-watchos plugin port --include-example. Four of our own ported packages ship a hand-written demo instead, and their PORTING_REPORT.md gives no reason:
- games_services_watchos (since dad5d25)
- geolocator_watchos (since b0868d0)
- path_provider_watchos
- url_launcher_watchos (since 7fd2d37)
For each, port upstream's example. Where upstream's example cannot launch on the watch even with the listed deviations, keep the demo and add an ## Example section to the report that says why (the exception in #25). flutter_watch_link has no upstream, so it is out of scope.
Found while reviewing #9 and #11, where we ask contributors for the same.

Done. Each package now ships upstream's own example, ported with
flutter-watchos plugin port --include-example(AUTHORING.md §3). Each was checked on the watchOS 27.0 Simulator, built withflutter.inspector.structuredErrors=false(spec 0006 criterion 8a): no exception in the first 15 seconds and no overflow.getDownloadsPathnow returnsNSDownloadsDirectory, and the external storage getters throwUnsupportedError, both as on iOS. All 16 upstream tests pass.watchos_url_launcher_test.dart(6 pass).lib/only) and its MIT licence inexample/LICENSE. Our test is nowwatchos_games_services_test.dart(7 pass).url_launcher_watchosfor the template's links, andFlutterWatchOSContentScale0.6 for a 106-pixel overflow.All four are published, and #30 and #31 record them in
