files-view: Drop non-portal wallpaper setting code

António Fernandes requested to merge wip/antoniof/drop-wallpaper-fallback into master

The "Set as Wallpaper" action has been originally introduced in a time when the Settings background panel did not provide the ability to pick a file to set as wallpaper. The action in the Files app was, therefore, essential.

Nowadays, the Settings Appearance panel provides a button to pick any picture file, so this action is no longer essential. Furthermore, we can optionally use the Wallpaper portal instead of managing the setting ourselves.

Therefore, there is no need for us to keep the maintenance burden of a setting which is so often out of sync with other implementations.

Closes #1677 (closed)
