daniil-berg 4be1c4fb67 feat(mc): open files with their configured app via xdg-open
Ship `mc.ext.ini` as the `local.mc.extIni` option (like `local.mc.menu`):
Enter browses archives in-place as before and delegates every other type to
`xdg-open`. Add public `mime.nix` with `xdg.mimeApps` defaults (pdf ->
zathura, images -> imv, audio/video -> mpv, office -> libreoffice) -- public
because those handlers are; personal browser/mail defaults stay private.

Also document, at the Hyprland swallow config, how swallowing differs from an
app opening fullscreen/maximized (LibreOffice restores its own maximized state
and looks swallowed but isn't).

# Midnight Commander: TUI file manager. Its config (ini, panels, F2 user menu,
# mc.ext.ini file associations) is opinionated but generic, so it lives in the
# public baseline alongside the other desktop tooling. The only personal value
# is the right-panel start dir, exposed as an option defaulting to the
# consumer's own home. mc.ext.ini keeps archive browsing but routes every other
# type to xdg-open, so the app choices live in xdg.mimeApps (baseline: mime.nix).
#
# ouch backs the F2 pack/unpack entries (one tool, archive format inferred from
# the extension), so it ships with mc to keep the menu self-contained.
#
# mc honours XDG natively: config in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mc (the files below),
# mutable runtime state (history, cursor positions) in $XDG_DATA_HOME/mc — no
# env vars needed. `ini` sets auto_save_setup=false so mc never rewrites these
# read-only store symlinks on exit.
#
# The F2 menu is a `types.lines` option, not a baked source file, so consumers
# can extend or replace it. The shipped menu is a `mkBefore` definition (stays
# first, ahead of appended entries), NOT a `default` — a `default` is dropped
# the moment a consumer adds a definition, which would lose the base. As a real
# definition it merges: `local.mc.menu = "…";` appends after the base entries;
# `lib.mkForce "…"` replaces it wholesale.

Contents of mc's mc.ext.ini (file-type associations driving Enter/F3/F4).
The shipped baseline keeps mc's archive browsing and delegates every
other type to xdg-open, so the actual app is the XDG mimeapps default.
Like `menu`, it is a mkBefore definition: append a same-named section to
override one key (mc merges same-named sections, last key wins), or use
lib.mkForce to replace it entirely.
