odamex: missing desktop files

[0n-s]

Describe the bug

The odamex derivation lacks desktop files.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. ?

Expected behavior

The derivation should have desktop files.

Additional context

The upstream repository has these in its package for Arch Linux, but they are generic (the /usr/share/doom path might need tweaking, though). Preferably use these over homemade ones, as these have the upstream seal of approval.

Notify maintainers

(unmaintained, if I am interpreting correctly)

The version offered in nixpkgs is also ancient, so it probably needs an all-around do-over.

relevant info from the gentoo package:

odalaunch crashes with 3.2. Check it before updating!

https://github.com/odamex/odamex/issues/879

WX_GTK_VER="3.0-gtk3" 3.0 was removed from the bin cache so it might be a good idea to disable the odalaunch compilation by default
