Simplify PackerUtils by removing legacy Webpacker compatibility code

Since React on Rails 16 dropped Webpacker support and requires shakapacker >= 6.0
in the gemspec, we can eliminate all the complex version checking and gem availability
logic that was needed to support both Webpacker and Shakapacker.

## Changes
- `using_packer?` and `using_shakapacker_const?` now always return `true`
- `packer_type` always returns `"shakapacker"`
- `packer` method simplified (no need for availability checks)
- `shakapacker_version` simplified (no need for gem_available? check)
- Feature detection methods (`supports_async_loading?`, `supports_auto_registration?`)
  simplified to remove unnecessary `using_shakapacker_const?` checks
- Tests simplified to remove mocking of gem availability

## Impact
- ✅ Code is much simpler and easier to understand
- ✅ Removes unnecessary complexity from legacy Webpacker/Shakapacker dual support
- ✅ All tests pass
- ✅ Maintains the same public API behavior
- ✅ Leverages the gemspec dependency requirement instead of runtime checks

Since shakapacker >= 6.0 is guaranteed by the gemspec, all this checking was redundant.
