    files-view: Only refresh templates menu if needed
    
    Menus are updated very frequently. Each time, we read the Templates
    directory tree and recreate a menu model from it.
    
    This is wasteful and may cause noticeable UI lag if the Templates
    directory has got a lot of files and subdirectories.
    
    We already have a file monitor in place which notifies us when the
    content of the Templates directory actually changes, so we can rely
    on it to know when we need to read the directory again instead;
    otherwise, we can use the cached menu model.
    
    Fixes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/1069
