feat(desktop): add the rofi launcher (task 0024)

Add a rofi module to the desktop group, enabled by the aggregator.
It runs the drun application launcher, bound on Super+R. A session menu
built on the same themed rofi is bound on Super+Shift+X, and every
rofi -dmenu call inherits the Stylix theme, so later utility menus
reuse it for free.

Also give layer surfaces their own fade-in (layersIn and fadeLayersIn)
a touch quicker than the window animation, so the launcher fades in
briskly rather than snapping into place.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+- `rofi-wayland` no longer exists as a separate package: nixpkgs merged the Wayland fork into `pkgs.rofi` (now 2.0.0).
+  The module uses the plain `pkgs.rofi`, which is the Wayland-capable build.
+- Criterion 2 is deliberately reduced (`[-]`): the launcher is application-launch only, `modi = "drun"`, opened with `rofi -show drun` on `Super+R`.
+  Binary-run, window-switch, math (`rofi-calc`) and emoji (`rofi-emoji`) were all dropped at the operator's direction, and the two plugins removed with them, to keep the prompt as fast and uncluttered as possible.
+  This narrows the parent spec's "search-everything launcher" (user story 7) to a plain application launcher — a reversible choice, since any mode or plugin can be added back later.
+  Application icons are disabled too (`show-icons = false`), since resolving an icon per entry is the largest part of drun's per-launch startup and rofi runs no resident daemon to amortise it.
+- The dmenu-style reuse is the themed rofi itself, not a separate abstraction: any `rofi -dmenu` invocation reads the same config and Stylix theme, so the power menu — and later clipboard/utility menus — look uniform for free.
+- The launcher and power-menu keybinds live in this module rather than in `hyprland.nix`, contributed through `settings.bind`, which the module system concatenates with the compositor's own binds in the single `hyprland.conf`.
+  This keeps each command next to its binding and referenced by store path, so a rename cannot silently break the bind.
+- The power menu is bound to `Super+Shift+X`, chosen by the operator.
+  It pairs with lock on `Super+X` (a key the spec's table does list), while the parent spec's table has no power-menu key of its own.
+- No Waybar `window-rewrite` icon mapping was added: rofi renders as a Wayland layer-shell overlay, not a tiled window with a class on a workspace, so it never appears on the workspace indicator the convention governs.
+- The launcher's quick appearance is a Hyprland change, not a rofi one: layer surfaces get their own `layersIn`/`fadeLayersIn` fade at `2`, a step quicker than the `3` windows use, so the launcher fades in without feeling laggy.
