As per the specifications: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry/latest/recognized-keys.html

Use GenericName for Files and set Nemo for Name.

Fix #3789.

Files is the name we want to see for Nemo, not the app name itself. Usage of name vs generic name is not consistent enough for us to use Generic name unfortunately so I need to reject this.

This can be patched in Arch of course if Arch wants to do this.
