    files-view: Rebuild context menus every time
    
    In GTK3, we would reuse the same GtkMenu, but update the model.
    
    With GtkPopoverMenu, this is creating duplicate stack page each time
    our submenus are updated. And it turns out we update templates and
    scripts menu a lot of times, on directory monitor callbacks! Besides
    warnings, this causes increasing memory consumptions.
    
    Additionally, reusing the same popover while updating the model causes
    the old model do be temporarily displayed when the popover is opened,
    which sometimes even causes the popover to resize and jump around.
    This is obviously bad.
    
    Avoid both problems by creating a new popover menu every time we open
    the context menu. The old one is destroyed (by unparenting) right
    before this. (Not on GtkPopover::closed, because this would be too
    early and actions would fail to activate!)
