desktop: rename gnome.nix → desktop.nix; switch to nemo

- Rename settings/gnome.nix to settings/desktop.nix (file no longer
  has anything to do with GNOME)
- Replace nautilus with nemo — starts fast, has a hamburger menu,
  no Tracker3/Mutter D-Bus dependencies
- Exclude thunar (pulled in by XFCE) via environment.xfce.excludePackages
- Remove nautilus Tracker dconf workaround (no longer needed)
- Update $mod+E keybind and common.nix import accordingly
