Description

### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

The shell extensions for OneDrive files/folders are shown in the overflow flyout. It would be easier to access them if they were shown in the main menu.

### Requirements

- OneDrive options should get a placeholder in the context menu until the shell extensions finish loading
- This should apply for other cloud storage locations as well
- Apply these changes to the sidebar, file views and home page widgets
- The 'free up space' option should be hidden or disabled when the file is already 'cloud only' #17576

### Files Version

v2.4.40

Research direction

Start by locating the context-menu implementations used by the sidebar, file views, and home page widgets, then trace how OneDrive shell extensions load and how the overflow flyout is populated. Done means cloud-storage options have loading placeholders in the main menu, the behavior applies in all named locations, and “free up space” is hidden or disabled for cloud-only files.
