PR Summary

Low Risk
Low risk release housekeeping: version strings/metadata and dependency URLs are updated, with no functional behavior changes beyond referencing the new binary artifacts.

Overview
Bumps the SDK release from 8.44.2 to 8.44.3 across the framework metadata (Info.plist), CocoaPods spec, and internal kMParticleSDKVersion constants.

Updates SwiftPM binary target URLs/checksums to point at the v8.44.3 XCFramework zips, refreshes WireMock integration test mappings to expect the new version strings, and adds the 8.44.3 entry plus release notes to CHANGELOG.md and mParticle_Apple_SDK.json.
