drop the built-in Transcribe entry from the file browser context menu

Transcribe Audio covers it as a task, with recursion, multi-select scoping,
skip-if-already-done and a choice of inline or job — none of which the one-shot
menu entry had. Two ways to do the same thing from the same menu is worse than
one good one.

The file viewer's Transcribe button is untouched, and /file-browser/transcribe
stays: it is what both that button and the task call.
