feat(menu): adopt rofi plugins for calc, files, emoji

Replace the hand-rolled calc/files modules with purpose-built rofi modi
(via programs.rofi.plugins) and add an emoji picker — all themed through
the same .rasi as every other modi:

- calc -> rofi-calc: live results as you type via libqalculate directly,
  which also dodges the qalc CLI's "15% of 200" -> rem(15, 1 B) misparse.
  Enter copies; the menu persists to chain calculations. Drops the
  libqalculate (qalc CLI) dependency.
- files -> rofi-file-browser-extended: live directory navigation +
  xdg-open, replacing the flat 50k-cap `fd` dump of $HOME. yazi (SUPER+E)
  stays the power browser; `fd` already ships via shell.nix.
- emoji -> rofi-emoji (new module): glyph picker, copies through the
  plugin's Wayland clipboard adapter. Bound to SUPER+CTRL+E in
  keybinds.nix (so it lands in the SUPER+? cheatsheet too).

rofi 2.0 rebuilds cleanly with all three plugin .so (ABI-matched, same
nixpkgs). README roadmap updated: calc rework marked shipped, with a
follow-up item for the script-based plugins (network/secrets/audio).

launcher, no second theming pipeline; the dispatcher owns the menu
structure, so the renderer stays swappable (we moved fuzzel → rofi 2.0
once mainline gained native Wayland, for its richer theming)
- **Calculator module rework:** the current `calc` flow
(`modules/home/rofi.nix`) is unsatisfying — you commit the expression
blind, then the result only appears in the *next* menu's `-mesg` line,
and `qalc -t` misparses common phrasings (e.g. `15% of 200`
`rem(15, 1 B)` instead of `30`). Rework toward live results as you type
(rofi-calc-style: each keystroke re-evaluates and the answer is the top
entry, Enter copies), a more robust qalc invocation, and graceful
handling of parse errors. Decide whether to keep the hand-rolled dmenu
loop or adopt a dedicated calc mode/plugin.
- **Menu modules from rofi plugins:** the old `calc` flow committed the
expression blind (result only in the *next* menu's `-mesg`) and `qalc -t`
misparsed common phrasings (`15% of 200``rem(15, 1 B)`, the natural-
language "of" tripping the CLI). Resolved by adopting purpose-built rofi
modi (`programs.rofi.plugins`), all themed through the same `.rasi`:
- **calc** → **rofi-calc**: live results as you type via libqalculate
directly (dodging the qalc-CLI "of" bug), Enter copies, menu persists
to chain calculations.
- **files** → **rofi-file-browser-extended**: live directory navigation
(Backspace to ascend, toggle hidden) opening with xdg-open, replacing
the flat `fd` dump of `$HOME`. yazi (SUPER+E) stays the power browser.
- **emoji** → **rofi-emoji** (new module, SUPER+CTRL+E): glyph picker,
copies via the plugin's Wayland clipboard adapter.
- **More menu modules from rofi tools:** the script-based counterparts
(run via `rofi -dmenu`, like the hand-rolled modules), each a deliberate
replacement of an existing flow: **rofi-network-manager** (a keyboard
wifi/VPN picker vs today's `nmtui`-in-terminal `network`), **rofi-rbw /
rofi-pass** (a secrets module — Bitwarden via rbw, or `pass` — pairs with
`keys.nix`), and **rofi-pulse-select** (an audio sink/source switcher).
Decide per-module whether it earns replacing the current path.
- **Theme parity with legacy:** summer-day/night now carry their legacy
bar layouts as `waybar.jsonc` whole-swaps (adapted: dead legacy script
modules dropped, Nerd-Fonts-v2 codepoints remapped to FontAwesome/v3,
