fix: native template autocomplete and durable indicator migration

Browse Source 
Template file fields used an unstyled <datalist>, not Obsidian's native suggest popup. Replace it with TemplateFileSuggest, an AbstractInputSuggest<TFile> matching Templater's own FileSuggest/FolderSuggest pattern exactly. Requires Obsidian >=1.4.10; minAppVersion corrected.

The coloured-indicator default never reached existing installs: every install that loaded before that default changed had already persisted the prior default (indicatorMode: 'any') to data.json as if it were a deliberate choice, and Object.assign-based settings merging always prefers a value already on disk over a new code default. Hand-editing data.json directly does not fix this durably either -- Obsidian holds settings in memory while a vault is open and overwrites external edits on its own save cycle.

Add a one-time, code-level migration: on load, an install with a persisted indicatorMode of 'any' and no indicatorModeMigrated flag is promoted to 'systems' and the flag is persisted immediately, so it survives even a session with no further settings changes. Any indicatorMode chosen after the flag exists, any (deliberately) included, is never touched again.

The default calendar mode is `systems`, while `any` preserves the older one-neutral-dot behaviour. Template file fields in both Periodic Notes and Date systems use a native `datalist` populated from every Markdown path in the vault (without the optional `.md` extension), so templates stored outside a conventional `Templates/` folder remain discoverable.
The default calendar mode is `systems`, while `any` preserves the older one-neutral-dot behaviour. Existing installs that silently persisted the pre-`systems` default of `any` are promoted to `systems` exactly once, on load, via a `data.json`-level `indicatorModeMigrated` flag; a value chosen after that flag is set (including `any`) is never touched again. Template file fields in both Periodic Notes and Date systems use `TemplateFileSuggest`, an `AbstractInputSuggest<TFile>` (the same base class Templater's own template pickers use — Obsidian's native fuzzy-suggest popup, not an unstyled `<datalist>`), searching every Markdown path in the vault. `AbstractInputSuggest` requires Obsidian ≥1.4.10, hence `manifest.json`'s `minAppVersion`.
