Write default value to the database on getting the setting

[kaiserkiwi]

Closes #6

This Pull Request makes the Plugin ready for Laravel 13, adds the option to write default values to the database (Disabled by default) and adds tests to the Package.

Features

• Laravel 13 Support
• New save_default config to enable oder disabling saving the default value to the Database if it isn't there yet

Fixes

• Update null check for setting value and add caching tests for falsy values
• Handle concurrent insert race in setSetting method

Tests

I finally added tests to the package so I don't have to guess if everything works as expected. I also added GitHub Actions.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the package for Laravel 13 compatibility and introduces an optional save_default configuration that can persist default values to the database when a setting is first read and missing. It also adds a Pest-based test suite and GitHub Actions CI to validate behavior across multiple PHP/Laravel versions.

Changes:

• Add model_settings.save_default (and MODEL_SETTINGS_SAVE_DEFAULT) and implement “persist default on read” in HasSettings::getSetting().
• Add Pest + Orchestra Testbench test setup and feature tests for the settings trait.
• Add CI workflow to run tests across PHP 8.2–8.4 and Laravel 11–13.
