revert(menu): keep the hand-rolled fd files module, drop rofi-file-browser

The rofi-file-browser-extended navigate-a-tree model felt worse than flat
fuzzy-find for a quick launcher (yazi already covers real browsing), so
`files` goes back to `fd` → `rofi -dmenu` → xdg-open. calc (rofi-calc)
and emoji (rofi-emoji) stay. Re-adds `fd` to the module's packages and
notes the dropped plugin in the roadmap.
